Symptom narrative

Reported Symptoms: 10002218:ANAPHYLAXIS; Narrative: per provider note: 72-year-old female who states that at about 9:00 a.m. this morning she got a flu shot and shortly after started having difficulty swallowing. She denies tightness in the chest, shortness of breath or wheezing. She denies inability to handle her own secretions. She denies diffuse itch or rash. Patient presented to ED and was offered treatment with Benadryl IV, steroids but patient refused. Also offered epi, patient refused. Patient's sx improved without treatment while in ED. She had not no respiratory involvement at this time and I believe the difficulty swallowing is probably esophageal/GI. There was no signs of angioedema or airway inclusion. No stridor. The lungs are clear to auscultation all fields and she was moving air well. Other Relevant HX: Other: ANAPHYLAXIS
