Symptoms on chronic urticaria

A study done to observe patients with chronic hives has revealed there is no specific cause to determine the outbreak nor is there clear cut identification. Sometimes in cases of chronic urticaria, the disease may be linked to a fundamental autoimmune physical condition. In this case the body begins to attack itself as it starts to develop allergic reactions internally.


The hives can also be related to varied health issues such as lupus or disease of the thyroid. Indications of the disease may come and go without any obvious reason. In others environmental factors such as extreme heat physical stress or strain can cause the symptoms to become severe.




Shortness of breath indicates that the respiratory system automatically narrows or constricts its passages in the event of an attack. The swelling in the throat can block your air duct, making it unmanageable to breathe. This must be immediately reported to the doctor as it's an alarming sign. Vomiting also indicates that the stomach is reacting violently to the condition. Shortness of breath can cause severe complications since these are acute findings related to the condition of chronic urticaria and can prove to be life threatening if not treated on time.
