Anaphylaxis is a serious medical condition which should be treated on emergency basis. It can severely affect the quality of life. It is a type of allergic reaction which you can get from the pollen on the flowers, hay, or protein allergy from the peanuts, etc. People are usually worried and have anxiety about the time when any allergic substance could trigger an anaphylactic attack. People who have severe allergies can carry an epi pen which they can use whenever they have an attack.
Expert opinion from Sujith Chunduri

People with anaphylaxis have poorer quality of life. If they exposed to allergen accidentally then they produce symptoms and systemic reactions, if not treated in time they can lead to collapse and death. They will have greater anxiety than those who does not have any history. There is no scale to measure the impact of the risk of anaphylaxis from any cause.
