What Is an Allergic Reaction?
An allergic reaction occurs when the body’s immune system overreacts to certain triggers. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may appear suddenly and advance quickly.
An allergic reaction can be terrifying. Suddenly you feel short of breath, and you begin to itch. You may have an itchy rash that continues to grow until you get the right treatment and the reaction subsides.
An allergic reaction isn’t just unpleasant — it may cause serious medical complications. If the patient suffers anaphylaxis (also known as anaphylactic shock), it may cause suffocation, seizure, or organ failure. One study estimates that up to 1000 Americans die every year due to allergic reactions.
Symptoms of an allergic reaction include:
- Itching
- Hives
- Rash
- Wheezing
- Flushed skin
- Runny nose
- Coughing
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Blisters
- Fever
- Dizziness
- Difficulty breathing
- Decreased blood pressure
- Loss of consciousness
- Increased heart rate
- Abdominal cramps
- Swollen lips, tongue, face, and throat
What Causes an Allergic Reaction?
An allergic reaction occurs because your immune system treats some type of substance like a harmful invader, releasing a chemical called histamine. Bees and wasp stings cause your body to release histamine, and some patients require immediate medical attention after being stung.
Many people suffer an allergic reaction when they consume certain types of food products. Foods that frequently cause an allergic reaction include:
- Peanuts
- Wheat
- Soy
- Tree nuts
- Shellfish
- Milk
- Eggs
- Sesame
There are also medical tools and devices, over-the-counter drugs, and prescription medications that cause allergies, including:
- Vicodin
- Lidocaine
- Cephalosporin
- Septra
- Penicillin
- Allopurinol
- Latex gloves
- Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)
