Description

One of the most popular beverages in the world is coffee. Many people say they can’t go a day without it. Coffee is made from roasted coffee beans that come from the Coffea berry. Unfortunately, for some people, this aromatic drink can cause an allergic reaction. Once you come in contact with coffee, the reaction could occur within two hours of drinking. It could get worse over time.

Symptoms could include:

• Coughing

• Shortness of breath or wheezing

• Stomach cramps

• Hives

• Vomiting

• Trouble swallowing

• A sudden drop in blood pressure or weakened pulse

• Reduced color of skin

Positive allergy test results should be discussed with your physician.
