I was diagnosed back in the fall with
Asthma (Symptoms my whole life but no one
ever "Diagnosed" me with it). So tonight I
was at work, in a kitchen, and I started
having trouble breathing but I did not
have my inhaler. Anyways, I was wheezing
and stuff, kept taking breather moments.
Then I got hives on my arms.
I did a bit of reading when I got home
about this and from what I have found this
is not good. Has anyone else had this
happen to them before?
I am assuming one of my triggers is
something rather nasty... I don't really
know what it might have been.

I guess you got hives that result in
asthma attack.
An attack of hives is set off when a
substance, called an allergen, is
ingested, inhaled, or otherwise contacted
and interacts with immune cells called
mast cells, which reside in the skin,
airways, and digestive system.
Realized histamine from mast cells in
airways causes swelling of the airways and
this will be manifested with wheezing and
respiratory distress. In severe cases,
airway obstruction may occur.
What type of urticaria you have?
Is this attack of hives happening for the
first time?

I kind of have the same thing happening
that you have, but it's a bit different
My breathing problems only occur when i'm
around dogs and cats, and well i don't
really know what causes my hives but all i
know that it's only on my arms and legs...
But when i sweat it's all over my body, i
guess because when i'm working hard and i
sweat it makes the hives worse?
