What is exercise-induced anaphylaxis?

Exercise-induced anaphylaxis is an uncommon, potentially-serious condition in which anaphylaxis occurs during or after physical activity.


Causes of anaphylaxis

The exercise-specific factor, or combination of factors, responsible for causing exercise-induced anaphylaxis remains unclear.


Symptoms of anaphylaxis

In severe cases, there is risk of a dramatic fall in blood pressure (anaphylactic shock). The person may become weak and floppy and may have a sense of something terrible happening. This can lead to collapse and unconsciousness.


Treatment for exercise-induced anaphylaxis

It is advised to use prescribed adrenaline as soon as a severe reaction is suspected to be occurring. If you are unsure what triggers your allergy, it is preferable not to exercise alone.
