Dangerous Food Allergy Symptoms
The only cure for a food allergy is avoidance. Anaphylaxis by definition is a sudden and severe allergic reaction.
If you see or feel any of the following life threatening symptoms seek emergency medical help immediately:
- Difficulty breathing
- Drop in blood pressure
- Rapid heart rate
- Swollen tongue, throat, or other part of the body
- Narrowing of the airways and wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe)
- Fainting
- Dizziness
