Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During an anaphylactic reaction, the patient may develop swelling and constriction of the airways, leading to respiratory failure. Without prompt intervention to maintain the airway and provide supplemental oxygen, the patient may die due to lack of oxygen. Heart attack, hypovolemia, and stroke are not typically associated with anaphylaxis.
