It might sound
strange but it is a fact that vibratory angioedema has nothing
to do with angioedema itself, rather it is a form of physical urticaria
(or physical hives). How
to treat angioedema is the first question that comes into mind of
the person experiencing this bizarre skin problem. You will find the
answer to this question at the end of this guide in form of simple
guidelines for
angioedema treatment.
Vibratory angioedema can be an
inherited problem or it can be acquired in response to a prolonged
exposure to vibration. It is an extremely rare condition in which the
skin produces a hypersensitivity reaction to an extended exposure of
unremitting vibration. The most obvious symptoms are central wheals,
blanched skin, pruritus or raised rashes.
A person prone to vibratory angioedema may develop it from the
factors that are normally harmless. These factors cause continuous
vibration on the skin e.g. driving a motor bike continuously for a long
time, operating such a mechanical instrument e.g. a lawnmower, or
vigorously rubbing your skin with rough stimuli e.g. a towel.
The symptoms usually take five to ten minutes to appear after coming in
contact with the offending stimuli. The wheals can be itchy in nature
and usually fade away within thirty minutes to one hour after their
outbreak and no typical treatment is required. To stay safe, the
individuals prone to vibratory angioedema should avoid such stimuli.
These simple guidelines are the answer to the question given at the
start of this guide i.e. how to treat angioedema.
-
Consult a
qualified doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
-
Urine and
blood test should be conducted to find whether you are infected with
angioedema or not.
-
Avoid the
allergens and triggering factors.
-
Epinephrine
is a life saving drug especially in case of acquired angioedema.
-
Certain
therapies of antihistamines are typically used to counter the effect of
histamines, especially in cases where autoimmune reaction is the cause
of angioedema.
