What Are the Treatments for Anaphylactic Shock?
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction. It can cause breathing difficulties, low blood pressure, skin hives, rashes or swelling and gastrointestinal symptoms. Causes usually include allergies to insect bites and stings, drugs or foods. In anaphylactic shock, the allergic reaction acts strongly enough to drop the blood pressure to the point of inadequate delivery of blood to the organs. The condition is life threatening and requires emergency treatment.
