or formed in the tongue and laryngs, it is called angioedema, a life
threating problem. There may be blood pressure drop, heart attack,
shortness of breath, and excessive acid increase in stomach.
Urticaria is not a disease on its own. It is a clinical chart for
many reasons. The causes of urticaria include: thyroiditis, systemic
lupus, sjögren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis,
hepatitis, chordal helicobacter pylori and fungi, infections,
parasites, drugs, detergents, insecticides, foodstuffs, eggs,
strawberries and seafood.
