Is it possible my asthma caused a reaction like that ? (ps. I had to double my puffers, and take my ventolin a lot more than I usually did)
I'm suppose to get the H1N1 vaccine november 3rd, so I was wondering if I should expect another reaction or?
I would talk to your doctor before getting H1N1 vaccine. You need to research and find out if the vaccines are made in a similar fashion, it is possibly an allergic reaction to something in the vaccine.
However the MMR vaccine I believe has a higher than average reaction rate so you probably won't react to other vaccines.
If you decide to take the vaccine in november, tell the nurse giving you the vaccine that you might have reacted to the last vaccine and maybe stay a bit longer at the clinic to insure that you are okay. And as I learned during one of my allergy shots, if you have chest tightness after a shot, tell the nurse/doctor because it gives you a couple days of hell if you don't. :)
Good luck and try not to get too stressed out over it. Also, if you are still doubling your puffer doses, it's another reason to go see your doctor.
