Suggest Treatment For Persistent Itching All Over The Body

Hi. I itch at night, all over. Sometimes like bee stings. Right now I m thinking it might be histamine related so I m researching HIT and DAO. Came across reference to ACE inhibitors and histamine. I m taking a maximum dose of Valsaran (ARB). Could that be affecting my histamine levels?

Hi,

I think this is an allergic reaction to some drug you are taking.

You may be allergic to Valsartan. Talk to your doctor to change drug and don't take Valsartan anymore. You can use antihistamines such Benadryl or Cetirizine for itching and rush.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
