Feel nauseous and pain in the arm, have been taking allergy shots for some time. Do you have any suggestions?
Patient: Hello, I have been getting allergy shots for two months now. I am still in the build up phase. Everything has been fine up until yesterday. I got my normal shots and was fine all day, last night where I got one of my shots (I get three total) my arm was in SEVERE pain. It was excruciating. I did not sleep at all. I took a bath and the pain is bearable now but still HURTS. Now I am beginning to feel nauseous and overall just not well. I called the allergist, she said there is nothing they can do except lower the dose the next time. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do in the meantime to alleviate my symptoms? Please help, I am miserable. Thank you, Kristen Doctor: HIThank for asking to HCMIf you are facing such problem then it is better to reduce the dose or either skip it or else your symptoms need to be investigated for deferential etiology this may nit be due to the shots you are taking but could be something else, the possibility of this has to rule out, have nice day.
