1. wHAT IS ANPHYLASIS SHOCK?

Well, Anaplylactic Shock is when your airway swells shut as an allergic reaction to something (for example, if I am injected with ionized contrast dye like a CAT scan or an IVP, my throat will swell shut and I can't breathe).  Some people have this reaction to bee stings.  People with this type of severe allergy usually carry on them something called an Epi-Pen.\n\n(I also wear a Medic Alert bracelet so if I'm knocked out, paramedics will know NO CAT-scans)

It's like a pressure or shock wave. \nImagine the Hiroshima bomb of menstral cramps. Like that.

i am guessing that benedryl, an antihistamine would be given, or adrenaline. it depends on the reaction.

the word you want is "petichiae" which are small pinpoint looking hemorrhages in the skin. These may occur if the platelet count drops too low

There is a medical condition where the skin will "weep" albumin (a protein in the blood that helps make it liquid)

That depends on what the allergic reaction was the time that you had penicillin and developed an allergic reaction. Penicillin allergies can vary from simple rashes to life-threatening anaphylaxis (shock). The type of allergy varies between people, so you have to know what you mean by when you tell someone that you have an allergy. If you previously had a rash with penicillin, then you'll probably have that again. If you previously had an episode of anaphylactic shock (and apparently survived), then you would probably have that again (and therefore should absolutely avoid the medicine).

Quite simply, shock.\n\nThe body has a limited blood supply thatit normally rations to different areas. An extreme psychological shock causes all the blood vessels to expand everywhere and their isn't enough blood to fill them all. As a result the highest body areas, ie the face, drain of blood very rapidly. Wihtout any blood colouring it the face becomes white.\n\nFor the same reason fear can easily cause peopel to faint because the brain itself has insufficient blood flow.

Toxic shock syndrome occurs when a female is carrying either a specific strain of staph. or strep. bacteria in her vaginal vault. Tampons act as a reservoir for the best culture medium ever designed - blood! These organisms will not only strive but also grow rapidly in this scenario.\nThe toxins produced by these bugs are eventually absorbed into the blood through the vaginal wall and surrounding tissue. The body's reaction to this assault is usually elevated temperature, other serious symptoms including shock.

My husband they sent to physical therapy & they used light electrical shocks on that side of his face. It worked great & varily quickly. No sign of it now.

your best bet is to get them to a physocologist first to get a handle on these attacks, then take it one day at time.  It sucks but thats better than the altenative.

The decreased hemaglobin synthesis in anemia is correct. What the others described may occur but is not the main mechanism. The decreased hemaglobin leads to a perfusion (oxygen delivery) problem. The lungs have a compensatory mechanism to match ventilation and perfusion. (This means that if a region of the lung has a decreased blood supply, the lungs bronchoconstrict to avoid wasting breathed in air.)\nWell, with severe anemia the perfusion problem is not regional but system wide, so there can a massive response of bronchoconstriction (think of the worst asmtha attack ever). This makes the situation worse obviously, less air reaches the alvoli for gas exchange, and you have acute respiratory failure. This response can occur when the body increases its oxygen demands for one reason or another(exercise, or illness come to mind).

There is a more technical name for it but I think so normal people understand it they call it cauterizatio. My mom is having it done today. They go through the groin area as they would do the catheterization. Anyway, she is having the cauterization done because she has tachycardia (abnormally fast heart rate) The last time they just shocked her heart to get it back into normal rythym. Since it is doing it again, they are going to cauterize the bad spots in her heart that are making it not beat correctly and this way it will just skip over the cauterized portion and beat normal.  Hope this helps.

The G shock is an impact resistant watch.\nIf you mean shock in terms of gravity- G shock is the force exerted on a body under sudden acceleration or deceleration-usually the later, in cases such as landing after a fall.  It is caused by change in rapid change in inertia which subjects the body to high pressure and shock wave-it is called "g" because acceleration and deceleration are measured in gravities (1g = ~10 m/s^2.

The worst complication of this type of condition is intestinal obstruction, either of the small or large intestine (bowel). Obstruction leads to local ischemia of the bowel. This inturn leads to infartion witch is fllowed by necrosis of the bowel wall. The contents of of the bowel (feces and bacteria) then spill into the peritoneal cavity, a sterile envirment, contaminating it leading to septic shock. At this point, the patient will suffer the complications of septic shock (disseminated intravascular coagulation, acute respritory distress, ect..). Most will unfortunatly die.

It comes from the muscle having a spasm.

Serum sickness is a reaction to an antiserum derived from an animal source. It is a type of hypersensitivity, specifically immune complex hypersensitivity. Serum sickness typically develops up to ten days after exposure to the antiserum, and symptoms are similar to an allergic reaction. However, it is different from anaphylaxis, since the symptoms are not instantaneous (onset is typically 2-4 weeks after exposure).\nPlease see the web pages for more details on Serum sickness.
