Y'all gotta understand that yeah, maybe she was playing it up a little bit but something was definitely wrong with her. Not only was her face severely swollen, but she has asthma and I suspect she was very anxious as well, and anxiety can cause a lot of physical symptoms/exacerbate existing symptoms from something else. I'm sure she truly did feel like her throat was closing up, I don't think she was "acting" but rather absolutely terrified 🤷‍♀️

Boy having had asthma for 55 years i understand how many things can effect it. Nerves are a big one. Cant breath get nervous, get nervous, cant breath. It sucks. And for those who want to know what an asthma attack feels like, think of the time you went swimming under water and stayed a bit too long. That few seconds when you come up is how it feels except it doesnt stop.

Shout out to all the paramedics who put their life on the line for us every day TY

4 epi pens? No wonder her heart hurts! I got one shot of epinephrine (adrenaline) for a dental procedure and my heart pounded so hard I thought I'd die and I was shaking and trembling. Turns out they missed the nerve and the adrenaline hit my blood stream. Poor woman. :(

I'm a retire EMT and watching these videos really brings memories back. You girls ROCK! Be safe!

[Sorchia]

Allergic reactions are NOT fun! I’m allergic to Sulfa drugs and bees/wasps. I’m also allergic to EPI so no epipen for me. Found that out the hard way but thank goodness for EMS for knowing what to do! You are literally life savers!

[exploited]

The lady coughing in the ambo is everyone's worst nightmare situation at the beginning of covid haha

[jesse]

So she's allergic to a medication she was prescribed. Dope.

[jennifercoleman]

Awesome ems workers. Some would think she was faking. She did her job and treated her and most important kelp talking to her and figured out the patient WAS highly allergic to her meds

[mikehunter]

Literally she is just acting 😂 even the paramedic was like “girl, you need to quit 😒” haha

[everythinghaschanged]

she knew she was allergic but she continued taking it and didn’t ask to be put on something else?

[zacharydunn]

Apparently there’s a bunch of doctors in the comment section

[sweetncool]

Yep. Story time-
I found out I was allergic to lisinopril too. After taking it for a year, one day I woke up and my whole bottom lip was massively swollen and half numb. Went to the ER and doctor told me yeah people could be fine one day with it and years later it cause a reaction. The Doctor kept me for hours saying if the visible reaction was that bad, he was worried about if there could be an unseen reaction inside. He told me never take it again. My mom and friends took pictures of my lip trying not to show how freaked out they were...it didn't work.

As a volunteer firefighter i appreciate what these wonderful first responders of new Orleans do. Stay safe, much love from the first responders of florida!

[sarahcavanaugh]

Thank you for your service and community too

[carrieannkouri]

Bless her heart. I hope she make a recovery.

[martinramirez]

Poor lady I don't care is she is acting or not she needs help and those ladies were super kind is warmed my heart

[buggiesmama]

I pray she is ok. However she does kinda seem like a hypochondriac

[ivoryfyall]

I pray I have 1st responders like them.. I'm allergic to everything. God bless us always.
