A member asked:
Is it true that every urticaria and angiodema case ends up in anaphilaxis shock?

No: Only a tiny %. If you have recurring episodes they will usually be the same. Consult a dermatologist about it. Be sure to bring all meds & vits etc. Do you take a BP med (ace inhibitor)?

No: While anaphylaxis can occur due to food and drug allergy, it does not occur in every case. It is important to discuss the cause of hives and swelling with your doctor to determine risk of severe reactions and have an action plan.
