i am a vegan, we had sushi and wine tonight. i am nauseous and have extreme tummy cramps. almost feels like contractions. i have a high heart rate and feels like an allergic reaction. there is no pharmacys nearby. should i go to the hospital?

Accepted Answer

It depends...: I'm sorry it's taken time to get an answer; this isn't a good forum for emergencies.
It may have been an allergic reaction or food poisoning but doesn't sound like it warranted going to the hospital unless you had swelling in your throat or trouble breathing.I'd have advised Vit. C (1000 mg every 2-3 hours),1/2 tsp of baking soda in water and homeopathic Nux vomica 30c but should clear on its own.
