yes, a few thoughts
Hi Vi,
You had an anaphylactic reaction (highest level of allergy, can be life-threatening) to something. You should now also carry an epi (epinephrine) pen or inhaler (like people who are allergic to bee stings do). They should have told you that.
What you didn't tell us is if you're still taking the Femara. If so that would be very odd, to have reacted so strongly to it once and then not since.
I have had a similar reaction to yours although a little more involved, 3 times in my life. All within about 10 minutes of eating a meal (two times a potluck, alas for figuring out the allergen). But they were over a 4-5 year period and that was 20 years ago. Allergies are so weird.
As was mentioned about the oral Benadryl, allergies can be to the fillers in the drug and not to the drug itself.
But Vi, you had nothing to eat nor drink except the Femara? What a mystery.
Keep us posted, please - both about how you are doing and what your doctor has to say.
