How is anaphylaxis diagnosed?

If you’ve had an allergic reaction to food or insect stings (even a mild one), talk to your healthcare provider. A provider can often diagnose anaphylaxis based on your symptoms.

Taking this important step can protect your health and even save your life. It applies to anyone who’s had any type of allergic reaction. If you have, you face a greater risk of developing a severe anaphylactic reaction in the future.

Getting a diagnosis is necessary to get the treatment you need.
