The release of histamine causes vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, bronchoconstriction, increased gastric secretions and smooth muscle contraction.
Signs and symptoms of anaphylactic shock include: difficulty breathing, inability to speak, swelling, wheezing, runny nose, watery eyes, hypotension, increased heart rate, itchy skin, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting etc.
