Allergy To Aspirin

Updated

I am concerned because aspirin is constantly touted for chest pain, especially to be taken before getting to the ER. I am horribly allergic to aspirin, disprin, toradol , Advil and other painkillers except PAnadol. So, what should be taken instead in the event of chest discomfort?

I take 180mg verapamil daily. My problem is that until recently the color of the pill I was taking was a light coral. Recently the pharmacy where I was getting the pills told me the coral color was no longer available. It was replaced by a blue color. I think I have an allergy to the blue dye as since the change I have had extreme dry and red rash on my lips that will not go away. At first my Dr thought this problem was related to another prescription I was taking but that Med was discontinued and I was given a cortisone shot and a prescription for prednisone.
It did help somewhat BUT now that I have stopped the other meds that my Dr thought was the problem and completed the prednisone and the cortisone treatment I am having the same reaction with my lips starting to be all chapped, red, swollen and stinging and burning. Can it be the blue dye in the pills I am taking now. I take no other meds except 137mcg thyroxine (also blue and a recent change also) and 81mg aspirin daily. Please help!!! Thanks

After an anaphylactic reaction to aspirin, toradol, advil and other NSAIDs, I just take panadol for pain, and TELFAST 180 mg if I get an allergic reaction. I cannot take any other medications, and I am always afraid of developing severe allergies for which I would have to go to ER and take cortisone.
Hence, I try to eat organic stuff, and use alternative therapies such as acupuncture, herbal teas and supplements.
