What Causes Hives On Body And Angioedema?
hi....i had an allergy test done many years ago, when i was a teen (i'm 30 now) ...and the allergist said i was allergic to peanuts (or peanut butter - can't remember which) .. i kept eating peanut butter, peanuts, nuts in general and i never had any type of reaction...but, lately (2 months or so) i break out in hives all over mybody and i get angioedema, and feel lightheaded ...could this be due to that supposed peanut allergy?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is definitely possible that the reaction can be due to your allergy.
The consistent use of an allergen would cause the allergic response to worsen.
You can repeat your allergy test to see if there are any other allergens that would be contribute to your symptoms.
I hope this helps
