My 17-year old son has been experiencing episodes of prickly pain on his back and chest. First manifested as itching episodes after working out or lifting weights. Then started occurring more often and more severely with less itchiness and more heated, prickly pain going down the back. Pediatrician prescribed Hydroxyzine Hcl 25 mg to relax him when he feels episodes coming on or to take preventatively before sports or working out, but this is a short term solution as it is only masking the cause and he cannot stay on these antihistamines long term. Dr. feels this could be some sort of anxiety issue, but my son feels like it s his nerves or sweat glands that are not functioning properly. Have an appointment to see a neurologist later this month but not sure if we should be seeing an endocrinologist instead. Nobody seems to have an answer for this fatiguing condition. Please help us if you can.
