- This educational video shows a real life example of what someone experiencing an anaphylactic shock reaction. This video shows the serious signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis and how it dangerously impacts someones breathing. Severe allergic reactions can be scary but it's important to know what it looks like, how to provide care and how to administer an Epi-Pen. This short 2 minute video does all of that.
In this video, the person having anaphylaxis uses their Epi-Pen on themselves and we get to see how fast it works. The person's airway suddenly opens and the person starts breathing with ease. It's amazing to see how fast and powerful epinephrine is. This video is an excellent learning resource and a critical "must-see" for anyone who has or knows someone with severe allergies. Anaphylaxis is scary and extremely life-threatening. Watch now!
Epi pens should be FREE in ALL countries. There is no argument for forcing people to pay for life saving devices.
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!!
I’m sorry you experienced this. 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. Do you know what you’re allergic to?
Ive never seen one irl is the needle big? And does it hurt? Tho i guess in this case you got wayy more things to worry about than a needle sting XD im just curious
I am an nurse and i had into my mother in law anaphilaxs shock from ceftriasione IV.2 prednisolon didnt work.Only epinefrime and cardiac massage work
@@EZ_Case I’m sure they’ve done an ANA test on you to check for autoimmunity? Have they told you anything about Mast Cell activation disorder ? This is interesting but very sad I’m so sorry you go through this, maybe something around your house like pets? Mold? Or certain chemicals ? Does it happen when you’re near seafood? My aunt can’t be near seafood because the smell will put her in anaphylaxis
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.
Too drug companies charge so much for them and I will never understand that at all
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.

@@EZ_Case… same with me. It has happened to me on an Empty stomach as well.
I survived 5 times so far … Last time was the worst 😢
I donno whats causing it. I am anxious like hell.
Its tragic that these life saving devices are allowed to cost a mortgage payment on a house, each.
They’re Covered in Ontario canada
@@alexgreig8600why is it covered in Ontario and not in the United States how did this happen
@@user-zi7in3ow8k don’t know. It’s a different country
@@user-zi7in3ow8kmy insurance covers mine. United healthcare. I get 2 free epi pens a year.
@@user-zi7in3ow8kinsurance does cover the cost of epi pens. I’ve always got mine for free and I don’t have great insurance.
Now I know the difference between Anaphylaxis shock and silent reflux this has eased my anxiety
The way she was calm is driving me crazy
Being anaphalaxis myself, if you panic the airway is restricted quicker. The 1st or second time you panic, but quickly learn that's a bad idea. It's usually the people around you that's in a panic more that the patient. I'm allergic for medication so you need to know what emergency personnel must give you,with the two epipens and emergency medication and emergency script I'm carrying. It's already scary if you're an adult, shame I really feel for the parents with kids that's diagnosed anaphalaxis because you never know when the next safe medication is gonna have that effect. 2weeks ago I was refused an angiogram because of the dye in the procedure,so Dr's is very restricted with medication or procedures. Anaphalaxis is a way of life for some
@@berthavermeulen9052 My service dog carries a laminated paper with all of my medical info on it. I think it’s super important for everyone in case anything happens and they aren’t able to communicate properly.
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.
I had that exact same thing happen to me a few years ago, except it was caused by shellfish. What's interesting is that I had been eating lots of shrimp my whole life, then suddenly I became sensitized. Now I carry an Auvi-Q (that now needs replacing) for that and my peanut allergy.
@@csx_defectdetector The suspect allergic protein in that fish is called tropomyosin. Very dangerous protein. Stay away from all shellfish, and if you accidentally get contacted with it and get it into the body, use an Epipen.
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.
This seems more complicated than how he explained it
What do you mean by ANTIGEN
@@abhishek-bb6vg The allergic substance that is introduced to the body, and is later taken up by the immune system. If the person is allergic to that antigen, this antigen causes the immune system to overreact, causing an allergic reaction.
@@charlessmith263 … but hey I at times choke on my own saliva … i mean WTH … I am somehow surviving without knowing what causes my such a shock every single time. I have already gone thru it 5 times … 😢
I had 3 of these at age 15, but back in the 1970s, there were NO epinephrine shots.
this video haunts me to this day. allergies are a curse, and i suffer from a peanut one myself.
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
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.
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...
Great insight. Thanks for sharing and I hope you don’t ever face one of those again !
Sadly this was not an Anaphylaxis attack. It was posted before she was seen by an anaphylaxis specialist who stated it was not Anaphylaxis at all. Search UA-cam as there is a follow up video explaining how the error was made.
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
Which medication?
If this happened to my sister, I’d be totally freaked out, thinking she would die. 😢
Great video!!!

I think it’s something I’m touching and then rubbing my eyes.
Hey I’ve had anaphylaxis twice I bc the past year and loads of “minor” allergies to things I’m completely fine with one day or have been for a while
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
This happens to me with grapefruit, apricot, and coconut.
The heck this costs 1,000 dollars in my country for 1
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
My sister is severely allergic to cashews. 😢😮
Goated 🗣️🗣️
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?
Wow
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.
Seizures can happen with severe brain hypoxia. It's rare but can happen with anaphylaxis. But if hypoxia causes the seizure the person will likely go into cardiac arrest shortly after.
Alpha gal can cause a multitude of reactions, much more so than many other allergies, so I wouldn't be surprised if it caused you to seize. I have alpha gal as well. Terrible allergy, especially because mammal ingredients are hidden in everything!
They never give it by IV
They do in the hospital if you are in anaphylactic shock especially cardiac arrest.

This video is a copy of a laryngospasm episode a couple of decades ago. ( ua-cam.com/video/MdBUZn1PG58/v-deo.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.
Actually, epinephrine is FOR treating these life threatening symptoms of anaphylaxis, BEFORE it progresses to anaphylactic shock. A friend of mine’s daughter passed away because she failed to use it in time. At the FIRST sign.
And this laryngospasm is clearly due to anaphylactic shock. Id she faints it is due to her blood pressure plummeting and going into shock.. and cardiac arrest shortly thereafter. Then death.
