I'm not sure what to do anymore
i'm a 34 year old female. Up until this year I really had no allergies i knew of other than cat and rabbits.
I am getting hives with left hand chest pains ( sever and cramp for a few minutes , ease , crap etc. ) this lasts for at least half a hour or so. Hives are normally either lots of them OR few and LARGE in size.
I have been to see my Dr. who did blood work, and abdominal ultra sound.
Also referred me to a allergist whom tested me for a lot of things and also did blood work. The results were I'm not allergic to things food based. But am allergic to things such as Ragweed, dust, mold , cats. (I am also aware of rabbits personally). I was getting hives at this point daily very bad. My allergist advised me to go on reactine daily . i took 2 a day very often and then tried to add in juicing and such into my life and eventually came down to half every 3-4 days which is pretty much where I am now. BUT i'm still getting from time to time this Chest pains and hives , It is once every few weeks or around that lines sometimes 2 times in a week then i can go a week or something it varies.
I have figured out after seeing him I am allergic to ibuprofen now and avoid anything in this class of drug.
I also went off of my birth control for a month and then back on one day which resulted in hives and pains.
so immediately went off. I thought I had figured it out after reading birth control side effects. But now a week later last night i woke up again in nearly un bearable session of chest pain and hives.
I never had these issues with allergies or pains until the start of this year.
Help i'm not sure what to do any longer of if there could be a underlying problem
I can live with hives
the chest pains alone at home are very scary .
