Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Anaphylaxis?
A severe allergic reaction that affects the entire body. It can be life-threatening due to low blood pressure and airway swelling (preventing breathing). Anaphylaxis can be triggered by various things, including foods, insect stings, and medications.
Typical Symptoms of Anaphylaxis
- Noisy breathing; e.g. wheezing, rattling
- Insect sting or injury from animals
- Swelling of the arms or hands
- Possible contact with an allergy trigger
- Rashes suddenly appeared over the whole body, then turned pale
- Redness in the affected area
- Bitten by insect in the last 1 week
- Swelling leaves a dent when pressed for at least 15 seconds
Diagnostic Questions for Anaphylaxis
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Is your breathing noisy, like wheezing or rattling?
- Have you been bitten or stung by bugs or animals?
- Are your hands or arms swollen?
- Have you come into contact with anything that triggers allergies?
- Did you turn pale after getting hives?
Treatment of Anaphylaxis
This requires emergency medical care. The first step of treatment is an epinephrine (adrenaline) injection - patients who have experienced anaphylaxis before may have their own devices ("epi-pens") with them.
