My sister is severely allergic to cashews. 😢😮

If this happened to my sister, I’d be totally freaked out, thinking she would die. 😢

Epi pens should be FREE in ALL countries. There is no argument for forcing people to pay for life saving devices.

thank you breeevvvv

I have something called Alpha Gal im allergic to mammal meat and dairy im new to the whole anaphylaxis thing and it has me so scared

Great video!!!

Iam highly allergic to shellfish and fish 🐠 this video is very scary that poor lady I hope she is okay people please carry EpiPen with you at all times, because sooner or later you are going to need it

1:25 Here is my experience, I was suffering from this for past 4 years but never knew it was called anapylxis but urticaria... So i got it like total around 10 times in total... But sometimes what i did was just stay calm observe the reaction.. i would get first severe rashes with intense heat latter cough and wheezing and ofcourse dizziness.... Generally i used to scratch cough wheeze and after an hour at max this reaction would come down.... But lately i had one that made me sweat and loose a little consciousness.... Sometime i wouldn't even take antihistamine also . But from time i hear its life threatening i am beginning to panic more.. since all i thought was this was just urtecaria only I have never used an epi pen in my life and only drug i took was allegra 120 mg tablet whenever i see the symptoms... But this is the important thing i realised in all of these times..STRESS , I feel the more stress you feel the more severe the reaction will be..... So when i felt a lot of stress since people are around me and thinking what they would say.... I got more stress and this led to a more severe reaction...

Thank you so much for sharing a life time opportunity. Keep up the good work.

Now I know the difference between Anaphylaxis shock and silent reflux this has eased my anxiety

I still don’t understand why some humans have reactions to certain fruits - why did nature not figure this out and work something around this, why fruit of all things?

Poor woman. I'm a teacher and we have been trained to help our students. It is scary but I feel confident we are prepared to help whoever is around us.💖🤗🙏

wow...amazing the way the drug works so fast. Hats off to the creators of Epipen, a real lifesaver.

This happens to me with grapefruit, apricot, and coconut.

They never give it by IV

Goated 🗣️🗣️

So is NARCAN/naloxone administered before or after chest compressions? Because it would also be effective in resuming breathing but wouldn’t want to delay CPR either

The way she was calm is driving me crazy

I have my first aid is Johnson Johnson, all purpose, first aid.

I. Love. Cpr. And. AED. And. Epepen. I. Am. 6. !!!!!

It’s so scary. After going to an allergist they still can’t figure out what I’m allergic to. I’m 39 years old and never had an allergic reaction to anything until last year. Ive gone into anaphylactic shock 5 times in the last year. Within minutes my throat swells up and my eyes swell completely shut. My body gets really warm and I get a rash all over my body. Anxiety goes through the roof and I’m not able to concentrate at all. Whatever it is it’s not something I’m eating because it’s happened on an empty stomach. I think it’s something I’m touching and then rubbing my eyes.

I had an anaphylactic shock after I ate a piece of Kiwi🥝 back in 2020 during the peak of Covid. Let’s just say it was the worst day of my life.. thinking about that moment gives me so much depression

Shaming? Accountability not enabling

This video is a copy of a laryngospasm episode a couple of decades ago. ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8pyiL2flrarZWw.html ) Although laryngospasm is commonly a component of anaphylaxis, this is laryngospasm alone (with none of the other signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis). The general treatment using Epi-Pen is effective, but unnecessary since even in the rare (undocumented) case someone were to faint from laryngospasm, it always passes in a moment or two. Given the unconscionable cost of Epi-Pen, more effective education & behavioral prevention is what was actually needed in this and many cases of such frequent use.

this video haunts me to this day. allergies are a curse, and i suffer from a peanut one myself.

Had this reaction. My throat completely closed up, thankfully while I was in the ER and had a nurse in the room. No breathing, just tears running down my face all of a sudden and sheer panic. All because I ate a mango.

good good good

Its tragic that these life saving devices are allowed to cost a mortgage payment on a house, each.

I’ve never had an allergic reaction before and last night I ended up in critical care in anaphylactic shock. I have never been more terrified in my life. I thought I was gonna die all cuz I took a medication prescribed to me. Still have a rash all over my body and just wish I could figure out the cause of all this. Wanted to rip my skin off it was so bad and when my face swelled and my breathing became difficult I panicked

Do you have a quiz generated for this?

Can anyone tell me does convolutions happen in a severe reaction? I been diagnosed with alpha gal. I was dumb and ate something i shouldn't. I went into a breakout. Hives itching . My throat started to constrict. I got up and went unconscious. Family said i was sezing. Bowels release and vominting. Neurologist so far on 30 min scan haven't found epilepsy. Can an allergic recations mirror or cause seizures. I have googled and no clear answers. All this is new to me my only other allergy is to the cold. (Re warming ) which is basically warm up and it usually goes away.

Thanks for the video. One point that wasn't mentioned in the video is that prior to starting CPR, you must ensure the throat is clear of any obstruction or else you might cause harm to the person.

Amazing video ! Thank you very much ❤

Been in anaphylactic shock...and just experienced another ambulance ride due to anaphylaxis....in my case, body hit so hard....I didnt have the strength or wherewithall to do my pen....someone else applied it.....saved my life twice...these pens work!!

#community #givungback #makeadifference TY for all you do Heart2Heart and Nick!

Thanks i needed this

Surely you would want to do spinal precautions as it was a rollover and there's a risk of spinal cord damage.

I might need an epi bc of a medicine I’m being prescribed. Just doing my homework so I know what to do if it ever comes to this.

I had 3 of these at age 15, but back in the 1970s, there were NO epinephrine shots.

Let me tell you in layman's terms what this means. Anaphylactic shock is the life-threatening complication that happen during anaphylaxis, which is a severe allergic reaction to an antigen. At that point, a systemic cytokine storm by the immune system, caused by an over-driven immune response to the allergen that the immune system is trying to deal with, attacks even parts of the body that were not affected by the allergen itself--including the organs, which can lead to severe hypotension, and multi-organ failure, which can lead to TSS and even death. The antidote against this shock is traditionally epihedrine usually administered through IV or a quick emergency injection.

I got hit with one too. Hit with anaphylaxis that almost turned into anaphylactic shock. The cause - From eating catfish. Struck with angioedema, and severe asthma, and feeling like somebody did a rear naked choke on me - my larynx was nearly crushed. I had to vomit the bad stuff and then the anaphylaxis reversed itself. The asthma stopped, the angioedema stopped, and the throat constriction stopped. I recovered in 2 hours even without an Epipen. But I will need it next time.
