First Aid for Anaphylaxis : Anaphylaxis Emergency First Aid

@bjapan96 Yeah, that's why they invented epipens...

[bjapan96]

no joke but if he had a vaporizer and some medical cannabis that could have helped as well

it dialates his bronchial tubes so that could have helped him breathe easier

I have all those things except oxygen, but I didn't have epinephrine before I almost died from the reaction.

I stopped breathing all together and my throat swelled so much the tube became useless.

They stuck a needle in my neck and attached something to it. The doctor said the epinephrine they gave me en route made the swelling go down enough that I didn't have to have the cut made into my throat.

But the epinephrine made me feel like I was going to jump out of my skin.

The really scary part is that I took Benadryl directly after I got stung by a bee, and I still had an intense reaction. It was like I hadn't taken anything at all.

I'd hate to see what it's going to be like if I get stung by a bee and there's no Benadryl around.

I got stung twice by the same wasp and never did find the stinger.

uhh ok i went into anaphylactic shock before , it took less than an hour and i was in need of a doctor .i couldn't think about anything ..... this was more like a what to do if you have am minor allergic reaction ...... not major ...

it is inpossible to write a list out while having an anaphylactic attack

when it happend to me i didnt get chance to even tell someone to get help but it was all good when the paramedics arrived

[pomalley3306]

I put all my families heath info in my cell phone under emergency...

[SpotsDontDefineMe]

Does coughing always accompany anaphylaxis or is it just one of the possible symptoms? This question is for anybody to answer. I'd really like to know.

[sian2505]

it is one of a possible symptoms

[vickiormindyb]

I like this guy, but I gotta tell you there's no WAY I could have written a list of anything when I was having my anaphylactic reaction.

It moved liked grease lightning. By the time the paramedics got there, I was too confused to talk and had hives breaking out everywhere. I couldn't think straight much less write a list.

I had the information written in advance, which surprised the paramedic treating me.

[vickiormindyb]

I wrote all that stuff down before I got stung. My reaction happened to fast, I had no time to do anything more than call 911. In fact, I was barely moving air by the time they loaded me in the ambulance and blacked out on the way to the hospital.

The paramedics were surprised I had all the information written down.

[tammilou92]

Not to be funny, but i don't think if he was having an anaphylactic attack he would have time to write out all those thngs, he would probably be a bit busy trying to stay focused an conscious anyway but apart from that it's good

[bjapan96]

@tammilou92 i dont think this is real dude i think this is all bullshit
