A member asked:
If i am in a warm room (>18 c) i feel suddenly hot, choking, itching.i must undress.my arms become full of itching hive! am i allergic to sweat?

No: most probably this is a type of physical urticaria, called cholinergic urticaria, try to avoid heat as much as you can, OTC antihistamines like cetirizine or loratadine would help for now, take them regulary though, read the labels carefully, but you need to see a dermatologist or an allergist/immunologist, if you have access to one,for evaluation. Check aaaai.org or acaai.org for info, good luck
