Q: urticaria rash symptoms?
asked by: adsjo on May 16th, 2009

My wife has been feeling very unwell for nearly 3 weeks now. She has has brief spells of feeling like she is going to be sick throughout the day mostly in the morning. Very off her food, eating no where near as much as she normally would and she also feels tired and weak as i constantly come home from work in the afternoon to find her lying on the couch looking sleepy. Suddenly today she has had a rash come up which vanished after a bath but came back in the afternoon and has stayed for a few hours. Had a doctors appointment and she was told it could be urticaria but twice the doctors haven't even said anything about the other factors before this rash has come on. Any ideas what it could be as its so frustrating seeing her feeling so unwell and tired everyday? I'm thinking she should go back to the docs and ask to have a blood test done.

I also think she should go back to the doctors and make sure they listen to her about the other symptoms.

Could she be pregnant?

Urticaria is nothing to worry about at all. It is a mild allergic reaction and can cause her no harm. Is she using new washing powder. It could be washed off her body while she bathes (so the rash disappears) but then re-emerge when she re-dresses (when her skin comes into contact with the powder again.

If not an allergic reaction, urticaria can be caused by stress. All of these other symptoms could also be caused by stress. Though if there is any chance she could be pregnant I would advise she has a test.
