multiple causes: Urticaria can be associated with many contions and if confined to the skin structures is annoying but not dangerous. Try fexofeniine 180mg daily, but if recalcitrant or other body organs are affected (lung-cough, or gastrointestinal-abd cramping) consult your doctor.

Yes: Cholinergic urticaria is hives that occur when you sweat. It can be due to allergy to your own sweat or the process that stimulates sweating. Any stimulus that make you sweat can cause cholinergic urticaria like eating hot food, taking a hot sauna, hot temperature and anxiety...
