Question about a possible food allergy

my wife and I ate out at a restaurant last night where we got some Gorgonzola cheese (a type of blue cheese). I had eaten several pieces of the cheese but when I ate a piece that had a particularly high content of the blue veins, I almost immediately started to experience anxiety, delirium, increased heart rate, what felt like an itchy and fuzzy uvula, fatigue, and a hot flash. all of these symptoms passed within 20-45 seconds, and I was able to continue the meal.

I was somewhat concerned at the advent of these symptoms and would have alerted my wife if the symptoms had been prolonged at all, but they seemed to pass rather quickly. I thought maybe it was a property of the cheese itself, but my wife (who had been drinking. I do not drink) said that she had not noticed anything strange about the cheese. I ultimately brushed it off to continue with the evening, but I am now concerned that this might have been some kind of allergic reaction.

I have no known food allergies, except a very minor, itchy reaction to some beans after consumption. I have never been diagnosed with a food allergy before. any help is appreciated.

I found these

I found these at my job on the floor of a semi truck trailer that was shipping rice hulls. the driver said that his previous load was coffee. I grabbed these, and we have washed the beans and are gonna try our hand at pan roasting them here at home.

does anyone have any recommendations for this process?
