Cholinergic urticaria attack whilst simply walking?

April 17, 2018 by Forum Member

Hello everyone. I was just wondering if anyone starts to feel itchy and get hives simply by walking outdoors for more than about 1/2 a kilometre.

I’m 16, and I’ve had Cholinergic Urticaria for about a year now. I walk back home from school every Monday, and it’s a distance of about 2 miles. I only really have one route I can take, and it involves walking up a couple hills; however, every time I seem to even walk a couple steps up these hills I start itching!

This is the case whether the weather’s warm, cold or mild. I don’t do anything out of the ordinary such as run up the hill. I simply walk with my rucksack on my back and start to itch.

Does anyone else get anything similar?

Thanks,

– Mik

    You have pressure hives. I experience the same hives. Everytime I walk I get them from the pressure. The more I walk up or down hill, the worse it is as it applies more pressure to my feet. My feet get the worst pressure hives, but I get them in other spots, too. I’m sorry. I feel your pain!

      If that’s the case then does that mean I have pressure hives and heat hives?! (Considering I also feel itchy when entering a hot room from a cold room etc).

        I have hives from extreme temperature change. So it if it is hot outside and then I am in the car with ac on, I have hives. I use a small heater at work to “counter” the hives. I am also on 2-4 ztyrek a day to treat hives.

    Ah… terrible at 16 you have to like suffer this, I get extreme stinging sensation without hives or spots. It always seems to be my body heat as I play golf in winter and if I walk up a steep hill it starts up. If will start up. If I stand still in a cool/cold wind it will abate and calm down withn or 10 minutes. Often I take my jacket off even if it is cold too speed things up. Very sorry that it

      I seem to get hives on my arms though feel itchy everywhere, leading people to think I only get itchy arms and the rest is “in my head”.

    It can be hard to determine if you have two types of hives concurrently, but some people on this forum do experience that (i.e., cold and cholinergic urticaria, etc.). Since your hives seem to start as you walk up the hills, it could still be cholinergic urticaria. You could be slowly warming up during the normal walk, and since it requires more effort to go uphill, the climb might be pushing your internal body temperature over the threshold. People with CU can still break out in a hives attack in the cold, especially if they physically exert themselves. It’s all about causing the body to become warm enough to trigger a sweat response.

    So sorry to hear you have urticaria at such a young age. I have had it for 32 yrs so I know what you are going through. I used to jog before this condition but I had to give that up. I can walk for a good distance without a flare up but can’t walk fast and certainly can’t run any distance without itching. We can only manage this condition and modify your activities to avoid triggers.
