What's the difference in symptoms between exercise-induced asthma and anaphylaxis? when in doubt, what medicine should i use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anaphylaxis can cause bronchospasm, but it is associate with massive histamine release and activation of other inflammatory markers that cause edema of skin and airways and this can cause hypotension.
