Possibly : Its important to find out what you are allergic to review everything you ate drank or had contact with including animals. They may not admit you they may watch you in the ER for several hours and if stable go home.

Consult an allergist: Many reactions mimic allergies but are due to other factors. You need to consult an allergist ASAP.
