HELP! Hives

Tonight I worked out on my incliner treadmill for 30 mins then I ate half of a new protein bar. 30 mins later I started getting hives on my arm. Currently, (45 mins after the start of hives) they are all over my body. I called my PCP and was told to take Zrtek even though I just took benedryal. Has this ever happened to anyone before?

Yep. I take a Zyrtek and Zantac every day to control my hives - I have chronic hives.

Try adding Zantac. I know it's an antacid but it's also used to treat hives in conjunction with an antihistamine. If they get worse or you notice shortness of breath, go to the emergency room.

Yep you can easily take 50 mg benedryl and try pepcid ac or zantac it is for the tunny but will act as an antihistimine if it is somethhing you ate. If you don't feel better soon, call 911 or have someone take you to the nearest ER.
