I’m 29. I’ve been overweight since age of 10 and developed heat hives around age 17. I also suffer from excessive sweating disorder (hyperhidrosis). My generations of family and I are originally from a region that’s usually hot (35 to 40 deg Celsius average in summer) and both my parents have only hyperhidrosis in a moderate way.
I had to move to a colder region of the world to be able to live a normal life. It has been quite alright so far for my hyerhidrosis condition, but I don’t know what is in the climate up here, the heat hives are going bonkers. I have to walk slow, I can’t exercise. I feel very good outside because it’s usually windy and cold, but when I enter a building with heaters all fired up inside, the heat hives just fk me up all the way.
Being overweight by 20 KG and with a fat percentage of 33%, should a weight loss be a good way to see if it can cure my condition of cholinergic urticaria? I am ready to follow an intense diet to lose weight if it’s going to make me normal.
Thanks,
Vin

January 9, 2017 at 6:02 amSome people have reported that their hives decreased in intensity after losing weight. I’d say that it is always a good idea to maintain a healthy weight. Furthermore, many people have been able to reduce or eliminate their hives by removing food allergens and modifying their diet.
