6. Allergic Reactions
People who have allergic reactions might experience tachypnea as a symptom. An allergic reaction to pollen, animals or other triggers can cause tachypnea, swelling of the airway, hives and a number of other symptoms.
Tachypnea is not inherently dangerous on its own, as patients can usually still get their required oxygen. However, when it's experienced alongside a closing airway, there might not be enough oxygen getting through. Those experiencing tachypnea as a result of an allergic reaction should seek medical attention.1Park SB, Khattar D. ‘Tachypnea.’ /[Updated 2021 Feb 28/]. In: StatPearls /[Internet/].
