Oh my gosh! Why would you ever do that? First off, that is a serious and life threatening medical condition, and why anybody would want that is absolutely beyond my comprehension. Your entire face will swell, your appendages will severely tingle, hives will develop on your entire body, and your throat will close, not to mention the abdominal cramps, projectile vomiting, and diarrhea that goes along with it. If you fake it, and receive the treatment usually necessary if someone is having a real reaction, (epinephrine) you can risk heart failure, and death. It is basically a bunch of adrenaline, which will substantially increase your heart rate. Also, you will be hospitalized, at which point blood tests will be taken to determine that you have no allergy to whatever it was you were planing on faking a reaction to. PLEASE NEVER DO THAT EVER! I am a school nurse and if any of my students told me that they were experiencing anaphylaxis, they would get at least one Epi-pen, probably two, while waiting for the ambulance. Not exactly the condition to fake for sympathy if you ask me.

How would appendicitis present as anaphylaxis?

Appendicitis typically presents with abdominal pain, nausea, and fever, but it would not normally cause anaphylaxis. However, if a patient with appendicitis has a severe allergic reaction to medications or substances administered during treatment, such as antibiotics or anesthesia, they may experience anaphylaxis. Symptoms of anaphylaxis include difficulty breathing, swelling, hives, and a rapid drop in blood pressure, which can occur independently of the appendicitis itself. Therefore, while unrelated, anaphylaxis could potentially complicate the clinical picture in a patient with appendicitis.
