How Can Allergic Reaction Caused After Having Tuna Fish Be Treated?

My husband and I are experiencing a reaction to eating a tunafish patty. Symptoms include feeling heavy & weak, weird sensation of stiffness or soreness in neck & shoulders, mild dizzyness, sense of slight blurriness or blotchy vision. In the beginning we felt warm & a little sweaty, but now a little chilled. My reaction is worse than my husband s. It feels hard to type this. Should we get an antihstamine? Or go to the ER?

Hi thank you for querry,
in food allergy the symptoms are simple cutanoius to severe anaphylactic reaction,
acute urticaria,flushing,angioedema vision problem stomach problem with vomiting.
it mostly occur due to protien component in food causing immune response.
if such patient came to me i will give iv avil injection along with hydrocortisone short to minimize the immune response in severe cases epinephrine or adrenalin required.
its better to consult the Dr in ER.
hope the answer will help you in making decision.
wish you good health.
