Sound like Possible Hereditary Angioedema?
by Squeeters, Dec 08, 2008 05:50PM
Around age 5 I began breaking out in hives for no apparent reason. It quit by the age of 10. Menstruation began @ age 12. Always had stomach problems--mostly constipation as a child. Had to take awful Fletcher's Castoria always--licorice flavored laxitive. Currently almost age 29, diganosed w/IBS approx 6 yrs ago. Fluctuates now between constipation & diarrhea. Had a colonoscopy 4 yrs ago, doc said it was normal. Had an EGD, showed lesions on my esophogus from GERD. Currently taking ranitidine. Initially when I began ranitidine my stomach problems improved greatly. Now I go from extreme constipation to painful diarrhea; my stomach cramps for a good while, then I start w/the cold sweats & my bloodpressure bottoms out. I have once had my vision black out & vomit violently. I had a HIDA scan & ultrasound done on my gallbladder this year...It was normal. When I clean floors my hands swell & are very painful, so much so that I can't sleep. I had a facial angioedema earlier this year & was taken off my lisinopril. Any thoughts?
