Question

asthma.
seizure.
hypoglycemia.
anaphylaxis.

Explanation:

Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life - threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms can include swelling (such as facial and tongue swelling) and breathing difficulties. A bee sting can trigger anaphylaxis in a person allergic to bee venom. Asthma typically presents with more chronic or recurrent wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, not usually immediately after a bee sting with such rapid - onset swelling. A seizure involves abnormal electrical activity in the brain, usually presenting with convulsions, loss of consciousness, etc., not the described symptoms. Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar, which causes symptoms like shakiness, confusion, sweating, not swelling and breathing problems.

Answer:

anaphylaxis.
