Anaphylactic Shock Sign #9: Breathing Difficulties
Allergies can cause swellings. These swelling are not usually a problem, but they can become a real problem if they occur in the wrong place. If a swelling is able to block an airway, for example, then it can prevent air from being able to get in and out of the body. This can be very dangerous indeed as it could literally cause the patient to suffocate.
Regardless of the suspected cause, unexpected breathing difficulties pose a very real threat to a person’s life. If somebody is in such a situation then you should waste no time in making sure they get emergency medical treatment.
