Difficulty Breathing, Severe Pain Across Lower Back And Spine After Taking Insulin Shots. What Does It Indicate?
JUST RECENTLY I HAD TWO EPISODES LIKE THIS. I TOOK MY INSULIN (125 UNITS) IN MY STOMACH. IMMEDIATELY AFTER I FINISHED, I HAD REAL DIFICULTY BREATHING, MY FACE TURNED RED AND I HAD A REALLY BAD PAIN ACROSS MY LOWER BACK UP MY SPINE AND ACROSS MY SHOULDERS. IT LASTED ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND THEN IT WAS GONE. IT TOOK A FEW MINUTES FOR MY BREATHING TO RETURN TO NORMAL. ANY IDEAS??

Dear sir
It appears when you take insulin for the first time, it happens in most of the patients
Or else
If you have allergies to any human insulin it happens. In that case tRy lo change the insulin.
Thanks
