Attention. If you've got hives bad enough that your tongue and mouth are bigger or if you can't seem to catch, get to a doctor immediately! Also, if hives persist longer than seven days or so, go see your doctor.
Some people describe hives as little nests of bees under the skin. The little bumps can change location from time to time and they do itch like crazy. They are accumulations of fluid under the skin caused by leakages from blood vessels caused by chemical imbalances in the body.
Often the cause of acute hives is very clear: You eat strawberries and soon you look like one.
Some people develop the itchy little bumps after taking certain medications. Some causes are harder to find because they can be triggered by animals, mold, chemicals we use for personal hygiene, and some other diseases like lupus. The weather can also be a factor.
The skin is the largest organ in the body, and it is very sensitive. Stress is known to alter our internal chemistry, and can cause a hormonal imbalance. So, yes, stress can cause hives.
In some people, one of the symptoms of anxiety attacks is itchiness. Stress and anxiety cause the body to produce chemicals called cortisol and adrenaline. An intestinal peptide known as VIP may also be produced. An overabundance of these chemicals is thought to cause an imbalance in the body's hormones, thus triggering an outbreak of hives.
Chronic hives (those that last longer than 6 weeks) can be caused by fatigue and stress. If those things caused it in the first place, the itching is not likely to go away quickly.
Fortunately, there are many treatments for hives, some of which are really very effective. Chronic hives are usually pretty hard to find the cause of, though. Even experts can't always find the cause.
When hives begin to blossom, you often can save your body from becoming a bouquet of red lumps by taking a cool shower. That's a cool shower. Hot water stimulates histamine release and can turn you into a giant, walking bump colony.
For stress-caused hives, doctors often prescribes Doxepin, a combination of antihistamine and antidepressant medication. It's often a tremendous benefit both to treat the hives and to help people relax. Some doctors view these symptoms as the manifestation of the first signs of clinical depression.
When they arrive, try to determine what caused the hives. They look the same whether they were caused by a toxin in your surroundings or stress. Sometimes it is really hard to come to a firm conclusion.
The trigger to a hives episode could be just a tiny trace of something or just a sharp word. Doctors recommend keeping an accurate journal of everything involved when the itching begins. Time, day of the week, location, food, chemical smells in the air, everything should be marked down. So, if the cause is not obvious, maybe the experts can find the clue in your journal.
Sometimes, there is an underlying illness causing the hives episode. Always see a doctor to make sure that nothing more serious is displaying itself. - 15255
