Shaking, Increased Heart Rate After Using A New Tanning Cream. Allergic Reaction?

I used a tingle tanning lotion today at tanning bed. I'm a reg tanner but first time user of this product. I thought I was close to death. My heart was racing I was shaking I could hardly stand. Sick to stomach.. Eyes were shifty I was going quick... Passing out... What in the world could be in a tanning cream that would cause this reaction. I was soo sick.. Thanks

yes, it could be an anaphylactic reaction which is one of the severe forms of allergic reactions.

the symptoms may gradually go off but if persistent you need to show yourself to a physician.

make sure you dont use that particular formulation in future.

allergic reactions can be in different forms from skin rash to shortness of breath to death.

hope i have answered your query.
