What Causes Rashes On The Neck And Swelling In The Eyes?

I have chronic neck hives for at least a couple of months that are getting worse, yesterday I woke up and they were all over my face as well and my eyes for very swollen. Also I ve had a chronic bloated belly, loss of appetite and when I do eat it only takes a few bites to fill me up. I feel like I have a stomach ache most all the time. could these two be related? I do have Barrett s esophagus. I am a relatively healthy 46 yr old woman. other symptoms that might be relative are that I m constantly fatigued, I did just have blood work done but everything came back normal as well as my gyno appt.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Chronic hives is commonly due to allergic reaction that can be due to a number of allergens like certain foods and medicines, skin cosmetics, leather, latex, air allergens like animal danders, pollen, certain trees, grasses etc.
So you need to get checked by a Specialist like an Immunologist and get evaluated.
A clinical examination and an allergy test can be done for confirmation of the diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.
For now you can consult an Emergency room and get checked and they can advise you anti allergic medicine like Fexofenadine or Levocetrizine and a steroid shot if the symptoms are severe.
Do cool compresses and apply Caladryl lotion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
