hi and welcome to hCm,
It sounds like allergic reaction combined with panic attack. YOu should try to remmeber did you eat something or inhaled and next time avoid it or dou allergic testing. Also it would be good if you have some of the antihistaminic drugs in your home for next such situations. I hope you feel better now and wish you good health.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Possibly, it is an allergic rash / rarely a haematoma.
The fall is from fear / vaso-vagal syncope...

That you have asked this question - means you have come around...
Relax...
See your GP / get yourself examined / get some basic blood tests done..

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
