I can't have an epi-pen.
I asked about one but the consultant said it wasn't right for me. An epi-pen works by raising your blood pressure quickly if it plummets when you have an anaphlaxis. But I have very high BP (on meds all my life) & a related heart defect from birth. My BP had gone dangerously high when they checked it in A&E & an epi-pen that raised it further could be catastrophic for me.
I understand now, didn't realise there were contraindications. My apologies to the medical profession! I can't have rye either Breeze, we seem to have very similar metabolisms.
