Brief Answer:
You need to show in emergency room to doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Your symptoms suggest you are having anaphylactic reaction. This could be a reaction to any sting or bee bite (which might have been not noticed by you) or some food or dust.

I suggest you to show doctor (GP) in emergency room and get treated as it could become life threatening.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr Deepika Patil
