So i got off lightly when I had more than dozen wasp stings on a YHA walking holiday... Clear that rough ground they said , but didnt mention the wasp nest... almost passed out. Then spent the next few hours with my head between my knee. I felt very very yuk the next day as well.

It is entirely possible that you suffered a Kounis attack. Kounis presents as a spectrum of effects ranging from a sensation which can be described as anxiety in the chest at the lower end of the scale, to angina to full blown heart attack. In the absence of exercise the symptoms of 'allergic angina' as Kounis is sometimes referred to include nausea, fatigue, dizziness, sweating and shortness of breath (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/angina/basics/symptoms/con-20031194). These symptoms will normally resolve themselves with Kounis within 24 to 48 hours assuming there's no further complications.
