8. Loss of Consciousness
Temporary loss of consciousness, whether it is partial or complete, can occur due to an anaphylactic reaction. Sometimes, anaphylactic patients lose their consciousness for a while and then recover. Others lose their consciousness completely. This is a dangerous sign and the patient should be treated as soon as possible.
This loss of consciousness is usually due to the drop in blood pressure. It starts as lightheadedness and then the patient becomes dizzy before falling unconscious. If you feel dizzy, tell someone around you that you are about to get an anaphylactic reaction.
