What Causes Severe Chills After Taking Prosta-Strong?

I just took two soft-gel supplements for prostate symptoms (Prosta-Strong manufactured by Irwin Naturals). Bottle says up to four per day (all at once or various times of day). I also took 600mg of Turmeric Root Extract at the same time. 10 minutes later my face was flush and I had SEVERE chills. Approx ten minutes after that I was back to normal but noticed that my blood pressure was at 147/75 (50 BPM). Normal blood pressure for me (untreated) is approx. 112/65 and 49 BPM. Did I have an allergic reaction? I have been taking Turmeric Root without any problems for the last month. What do you suspect happened and should I discontinue use of the new supplement? Thanks!

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I suggest you to stop taking Prosta strong for few days and check for any side effects symptoms. If no symptoms arise then you have to discontinue the drug and can take an alternative. If symptoms persist I suggest you to take tablet Cetirizine and consult a physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
