    The symptoms of anaphylaxis include: difficulty breathing (ragged, raspy, gaspy breaths), air hunger (low oxygen due to fluid in the lungs); fast heart rate; swelling of the face, throat, and lips; dizziness, light-headedness; hives, often in a ring around the neck; tightness of throat; sudden drop in blood pressure.
