Hey ladies! Putting my story out there to see if anyone else has possibly experienced something similar. Side note, I’ve never had any allergies whatsoever, hardly even seasonal.

Yesterday I was at a family get together. I was heading out so I snagged a bite of a brownie which had walnuts in it apparently. My husband, my daughter, my pup and I went stopped at Dunkin donuts to start our trek back to MD from NJ. 10 min out I start having a tickle in my throat, that came with coughing and attempting to clear it. Then my cough started becoming more hoarse and more often. Soon after, I felt like my swallowing muscles weren’t working well and my swallowing was impossible. Then, my voice went out... and I mean like, completely gone. And after that, I started with these snoring inspiration and expirations. When my lips started tingling I knew it was time to pull over and figure something out. After 2 puffs of albuterol and 2 Benadryls, I started feeling better with my breathing, then the cough and tickle started to subside and by the hour mark my voice had come back and I was feeling basically normal. My doctor prescribed me an epipen and referred me to an allergist.

Has anyone else experienced something similar being postpartum?
