Swelling of the lips, face, tongue, and throat, or other parts of the body can be a key symptom of fish allergy. This swelling can make breathing difficult and potentially life-threatening if not treated promptly.
Fish allergy can also cause digestive symptoms such as abdominal pains, vomiting or diarrhea after consuming fish. These symptoms may occur due to the immune system's adverse reaction to proteins found in fish.
Contact with fish or consumption of fish can cause skin reactions such as hives, eczema or itching. These symptoms are a result of the body's immune system reacting to fish proteins.
Fish allergy can result in wheezing or having trouble breathing. Sometimes, the reaction could escalate into anaphylaxis, a severe, potentially life-threatening reaction.
A person allergic to fish can experience symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, or nasal congestion when they come in contact with fish.
Fish allergy can cause dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting. These symptoms can occur when the body goes into shock in response to the fish protein, leading to a sudden drop in blood pressure.

Identify Common Symptoms of Fish Allergies
Fish allergy will entail the above-mentioned symptoms but specifically after ingesting fish or seafood. Keep a food diary that includes descriptions of the food you have eaten and any health problems that arose after eating. This can help you and your doctor to connect the dots and find if you are allergic to fish.
Check for Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that needs immediate medical attention. Symptoms include:
Confirm with an Allergy Test

Am I eligible?
This is the most straightforward way to prevent a fish allergy reaction. If you know you are allergic to fish, avoid eating it entirely. This includes all types of fish and any products that may contain fish. This can be extremely challenging because fish is used in many dishes.
Food labels can provide valuable information about the ingredients used in the product. Look for any wording that suggests it contains fish or was made in a facility that processes fish. If you're unsure about a product, contact the manufacturer for more information.
When dining out, make sure to inform the restaurant staff about your allergy. Ask about the ingredients of the dishes and whether they are prepared with or near fish. Many restaurants can accommodate dietary restrictions, but it’s essential to communicate your needs.
Those with a fish allergy should always carry an epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen) in case of accidental exposure. It can be a lifesaver in an emergency situation. Also, consider wearing a medical identification tag that lets others know about your allergy in case of an emergency.
