Anaphylactic shock due to adverse food reaction - what does this mean
Anaphylactic shock due to adverse food reaction occurs when a person has an allergic reaction to a particular food. this reaction causes the body to release histamine and other chemicals, which can lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure, swelling of the airways, and a rapid heartbeat. in severe cases, it can be life-threatening.
What happens during the disease - anaphylactic shock due to adverse food reaction
Anaphylactic shock due to adverse food reaction is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to a food allergen, triggering the release of immunoglobulin e (ige) antibodies and inflammatory substances such as histamine. this causes a sudden drop in blood pressure, difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat, and other symptoms.
