Skin Reactions
One of the common symptoms of anti-emetics allergy is skin reactions. This can manifest as itchiness, hives, rash, or even swelling on the skin. It tends to appear shortly after taking the anti-emetic medication.
Respiratory Problems
Difficulty breathing, wheezing, or shortness of breath are serious symptoms that may indicate an allergic reaction to anti-emetics. The air passages become narrow due to inflammation, leading to these symptoms.
Swelling of Face or Throat
Swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat due to an allergic reaction to anti-emetics can be life-threatening. This symptom may cause difficulty in swallowing or even cause difficulty in breathing.
Gastrointestinal Issues
Gastrointestinal issues like vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach pain can also be a symptom of anti-emetics allergy. This happens when the body tries to expel the allergen from the system.
Dizziness or Fainting
Feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or fainting is also a potential symptom of anti-emetics allergy. This is due to a drop in blood pressure as a response to the allergen.
Rapid Heart Rate
Rapid, irregular, or 'pounding' heartbeat is another symptom that could indicate an allergic reaction to anti-emetics. This is due to the body's increased adrenaline production in response to the perceived threat.
