Go to ER ASAP: go to ER ASAP because you might be having an acute asthmatic attack and could get worse suddenly

Go to ER: You are describing symptoms of difficulty breathing and benadryl (diphenhydramine) is not going to help with that. You need medications to bronchodilate you lungs and possibly decrease the inflammation and swelling. Head to ER for urgent care of you breathing issues
