How Can Hives With Extremely Low Blood Pressure Be Remedied?

My husband has had 3 incidents since Sept. He gets hives all over and then his blood pressure drops so low I had to call 911. They said they thought he was not going to make it two of them times because his blood pressure was 40/20 and the last time barely any blood pressure at all. They have no reason why this happens. Now they are saying he might have a deadly skin disorder and there isn t anything they can do for him But he has to go to an allergist to be sure. It is a couple days before Christmas and can t get in right away. I am terrified this will happen again. I actually had to scream and shake him to respond to me the last time. His body shook all over and fell over. Is there something that I can do to help him?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
seems to be a case of allergy. I would suggest you to try and identify if these incidences were related to ingestion or contact with some food or substance like peanut, pulses or dust, any new plant or pet around.
Keep him away from such allergens till you visit an allergist.
There is nothing much you can do other than this and identifying similar episodes at the earliest.
Keep an eye on any rash or urticaria he develops and immediately rush to ER so that the reaction can be managed at the earliest.
Give benedryl if any recurrence occurs. It might help till you get to ER.
Hope this answers your question.
