Hey there,
The best online site about urticaria is: http://urticaria.toptips.org
Some of the most common induces for hives are foods, medicines, infections, insect bites or hurts, latex, exercise and anxiety. Exposure to severe whether conditions-- cold and heat can easily additionally produce hives. Often locating the root cause is difficult to apply your finger on. In cases where the explanation for the urticaria outbreak is not noticeable it is often suggested to have an allergy test done to determine the complication. This is executed by an allergist frequently recommended by your physician. It's pain-free to have done however will certainly take a great hour or more for the tests to be completed. Now I say it's worth getting an allergic reaction test done, merely because it might help and it might pinpoint the issue. For numerous of us the allergic reaction test will show ambiguous, I had 3 over the period of one month and each time the results came back different. As hives are triggered by the normally happening chemical 'histamine', it would certainly seam that the evident method to obtain rid of hives would certainly be with the usage of antihistamine

If you're talking about Atenolol, I'd suggest reading the following article, rather than me go into a list of side-effects which could be rather long.

You could also try the second link, and type Atenolol into the search bar at the top right of the screen. You'll need to scroll down each of the pages to get to the bit about side-effects.
