Are we sharing allergic reactions now? Every time my skin is exposed to cold air my entire body will break out in hives.

I was actually sitting in my house doing some work on my laptop. All of a sudden I felt an itch on the back of my head. Thought nothing of it. Scratched and moved on. Then the itch became more severe. I kept scratching.

Then weirdly my anus started itching... more than the usual

This is when I knew something was wrong. I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror and noticed my face had lumps on it, my cheeks were swelling and it quickly spread to my chest and legs.

I went into a panic attack because I've never had an allergic reaction before so I didn't know what to expect.

Not long after that I was being rushed to hospital. I was literally scratching my skin off. No matter how hard I scratched myself the itch wouldn't go away. I was getting very light headed in the car and eventually my vision just went white. I couldn't see a thing until I was in the hospital.

At the hospital they put me on meds and watched closely, apparently my blood pressure dropped so low that my eyes stopped functioning. So they kept me in for a few hours to make sure my blood pressure came back.
