Am I having an allergic reaction or suffering from allergy symptoms?
Triggers, or allergens, can cause your immune system to overreact and release chemicals, such as histamines, into your system, leading to symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes or itchy skin. Allergies can strike at any time if a trigger is present, so be prepared by knowing how to treat your allergies.
However, in severe cases, histamines can cause anaphylaxis, a reaction that may cause dizziness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, a swollen throat or tongue or severe anxiety. If any of these symptoms occur, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
