A recent study found that the duration of hives was significantly longer in patients with high blood pressure that is not adequately controlled. This finding had nothing to do with the medications being used to treat hypertension. It has not yet been determined whether or not adequate treatment of high blood pressure will result in improved management of hives.
Take home message: For those patients who have chronic hives and are also being treated for high blood pressure, check with your family doctor to see if your hypertension is well controlled.
