I was stung twice, once on each leg around 4 this after noon. And about two hours later I started getting extremely dizzy. And here it I in the morning my legs still burn and hurt. Tender to touch. Should I have went to the doctor or should I still go.

It depends on how high the welts are from the stings. Usually a severe allergic response is almost immediate or within about 10-15minutes. You've survived several hours. I would treat them as you would normally a bee sting. Make sure the stinger is out, treat with ice, and take a few antihistimines. I would make a appointment to see your doctor as well just to make sure. The problem with bee stings, and responses in general, is that the next one will be worse. If you get stung again you should go to urgent care or a hospital immediately.
