Ok so the day started out with me and my mom going couponing we hit cvs walgreens and walmart well at walgreens there was a buy on get one free deal on vitamins my mom wanted to get some.So we got melatonin,e,niacin,,lutien,and C.we took one each like bottle said.Well after about 2 hours at wal fart we got home.I sat down on the computer after putting everything away about 30 min later my mom starts gasping for air on the couch 10 ft away shes screaming i cant breathe i cant breath my chest hurts.Shes trying to tell me to call my grandma (20+ year RN ) so im on the phone with my grandma my moms screaming in pain.im listing the things we took my grandmas frantically telling me to call 911 so i dial 911 while on the phone with my grandma at the same time and looking for the Asprin (heart attack is first thing that crossed my mind) . At this time my moms face looks like shes been sitting in the sun at the beach for 6 hours i can hear the ambulance and fire truck coming i drop both phones and escort them to the right house.All to find out my mother is highly allergic to niacin.I took the same things and nothing.What a day to get your heart racing :surrender:

Talk about a heart attack of my own lol Shes doing fine now thank goodness.she only took 250mcg and not the bottle i got before that was 500mcg they said its fast acting meaning it opens slow and goes into the blood stream fast so she felt 100% of it meaning the pain did not build up it just hit her like a ton of bricks.if she would have taken 500mcg she would be dead .
