What happens when you have anaphylaxis?

An anaphylactic reaction is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. It occurs when the immune system overreacts to an allergen, such as food, medication, or an insect sting. When this happens, the immune system releases chemicals, such as histamine, which can cause a wide range of symptoms, including:

  • Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, which can make it difficult to breathe
  • Hives, rashes, or itching on the skin
  • Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
  • Rapid heartbeat or low blood pressure
  • Dizziness or fainting
  • Anxiety or confusion

What are the main causes of anaphylaxis?

Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can be caused by a variety of allergens. Some of the most common causes of anaphylaxis include:

  1. Food allergies: Certain foods, such as peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and eggs, are more likely to cause anaphylaxis.

  2. Insect stings: Being stung by certain insects, such as bees, wasps, and hornets, can cause an anaphylactic reaction in some people.

  3. Medications: Certain medications, such as antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can cause an anaphylactic reaction in some people.

  4. Latex: Some people can have a reaction to latex, a rubber-based product that is used in many medical and consumer products.

  5. Exercise: In rare cases, anaphylaxis can be triggered by exercise, especially if the person has eaten certain foods before exercising.

  6. Idiopathic Anaphylaxis: In some cases, the cause of an anaphylactic reaction is unknown.
