Hi, Had chronic hives for a while now, near-daily. Also get these episodes where my chest feels full and I can’t quite get a proper breath in, worse at night.

Bloodwork was mostly clean. Doc ran an allergy test, came back positive for dust mites. He said that’s the diagnosis, very common here in Sweden. Plan is dust mite avoidance and see.
Has anyone here been told the same? Did the avoidance stuff (encasings, 60° washes, low humidity) actually clear your hives, or did you end up on antihistamines / Xolair anyway?

Also curious if your doctor treated the dust mite allergy and the urticaria as one condition or two separate things. Mine is treating it as one and I’m not sure what to make of that.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
