Gastrointestinal symptoms can occur, including nausea, cramping and diarrhea.

Anaphylaxis most often occurs after exposure to an allergen, especially drugs, but sometimes foods and insect stings as well.

As its name states, the anaphylaxis is related to exercise and can begin at any stage of exercise.

Stopping exercise immediately usually stops the symptoms; however, many people instinctively run for help, which can dramatically worsen the attack.

In this condition, exercise-induced anaphylaxis occurs only if exercise begins within minutes or hours of eating a specific food, although rarely, symptoms can occur if a person eats the food immediately after exercising.

The diagnosis should be suspected in any person who develops severe allergic symptoms after exercise.

An exercise challenge test is performed by some experts, only if they have the expertise and tools necessary to deal with anaphylaxis should it occur.

ANSWER: Screening tests are not very accurate at diagnosing atrial fibrillation, which is an abnormal heart rhythm that puts people at increased risk for stroke.

Although there have been technical advances on wearable devices, the best way of diagnosing atrial fibrillation remains a medically performed and physician-interpreted EKG.

A simple office EKG is accurate at diagnosing a person who is in atrial fibrillation at the time, but some people go in and out of atrial fibrillation.
