What Causes Facial Flushing And Itching Sensation In Chest And Legs?

My husband,68 yrs old, gets facial flushing almost every day around 4- 6pm. He has had a dry cough for a long time. Chest x- Ray didn t show anything. About 2 weeks ago he started itching on his chest and sides. Today he says it is spreading to his legs. Sometimes he says he feels like he can,t get a deep breath. medications are:Combigan eye drops- 1 drop bid,lisinopril,testosterone replacement gel,cholesterol med,fish oil,multi-vitamin, 81 mg ASA daily,Lucien eye vit. Testosterone level was tested and was low,but not extremely. Started on replacement. Retest did not show improvement. Increased dosage and now has it specially compounded. Still no increase. Has fatigue also
