Allergy symptoms can vary depending on the type of allergic reaction occurring. In general, allergy symptoms include watery or itchy eyes, a runny nose, itchy skin, and sneezing. Rashes, hives, and swelling may also be common. In anaphylactic reactions, more serious symptoms occur and can be deadly. These include airway constriction and a swollen lining in the throat and airways, both of which can affect breathing. In other cases, blood vessels may expand, which can cause blood pressure to fall to an unsafe level.
