“Antihistamine has no side effects, so you don’t have to worry.” This is what I hear the most when I prescribe it after diagnosis of urticaria. Is there really no such thing? Is it really okay not to worry?
I hope you enjoy the Lunar New Year. I am Ahn Kyung-mo, director of Soseom Oriental Medicine Clinic, a 25-year-old skin disease specialist.There is a female patient in her 30s who visited our hospital the other day. I had urticaria, so I took antihistamine for more than a year, but it seems to get better when I eat it. However, he also became lethargic and his digestive function deteriorated. The phenomenon that appeared in this person is the side effect of antihistamine. When considering side effects, I worry about steroids the most, and antihistamine is no less. So today, we’d like to tell you about the symptoms and how to solve them in detail.
What is histamine?In order to know this, we must first investigate histamine. Histamine is a substance that our body secretes to defend against external stimuli. Histamine is usually stored in mast cells in granules and discharged in case of emergency. In other words, it increases the amount of blood in the affected area and expands the blood vessels to increase capillary permeability. Therefore, it helps immune cells easily reach the affected area and cope with it. When you have symptoms such as allergic rhinitis, urticaria, and cold, sneezing and runny nose due to external stimuli are also due to histamine effects. If you take antihistamine just because your body is uncomfortable with this normal immune response, the normal response will be suppressed. What is an antihistamine?Antihistamines are drugs that bind to H1 receptors to prevent histamine from working properly. So, if you take this medicine, your runny nose and itching will disappear immediately. However, immunity decreases and protection against external stimuli also weakens. Hazardous substances and stimuli bully our bodies, causing side effects of antihistamines.What are the side effects?1. Typical symptoms are dry mouth and thirst.When dust and foreign substances enter the bronchial tubes or nasal cavities from outside, histamine is secreted. This promotes mucosal secretion in the nose and bronchus, causing runny nose and sneezing. In other words, they defend themselves. However, taking antihistamines reduces mucosal secretion and may cause dry mouth or thirst.2. Symptoms of digestive disorders and constipation appear.When histamine binds to the H1 receptor, gastrointestinal smooth muscle contracts and intestinal interlocking movement occurs, and this action is suppressed when taking medicine, which interferes with gastrointestinal movement. As a result, my stomach feels heavy, gas accumulates, and I tend to be constipated.3. I feel drowsy, sleepy and lethargic.Histamine stimulates the sensory nerve endings, causing pain and itching. However, if you take medicine, the stimulation will be suppressed and you will feel drowsy, sleepy and lethargic.Of course, more than two generations of drugs have been released to compensate for the side effects of these antihistamines. However, people who respond sensitively to this medicine are still complaining of this symptom.Antihistamines tend to calm the sensitive body and help treat it if used properly at the right time. However, relying solely on this drug to treat skin diseases is a problem. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the cause depending on the constitution and the condition of the disease and to treat it. Can I really stop taking antihistamines?Those who visit our hospital with these problems sympathize with the side effects of antihistamines. However, it is also worrisome to say that the treatment process is carried out without steroids and antihistamines. Some people ask, “Are you sure you’re okay?” So we will definitely explain about blood poison and heat poison. “Seosom Oriental Medicine considers urticaria and skin diseases as blood and heat. Deciphering this cause increases our body’s immune system on its own and creates a barrier to defend against any bacteria penetrating.We have to get rid of blood and heatHemotoxin is a potential inflammatory substance dissolved in the blood, and when hematotoxin accumulates for a long time, it appears in various symptoms such as blood inflammation, vascular inflammation, and skin irritation.The biggest cause of blood poisoning is mental factors. If we repeat excessive stress, fatigue, and tension for a long time, the function of the cells becomes weak. At this time, if the body’s detoxification function does not work smoothly, continuous blood and heat toxins accumulate gradually in the body’s organs. When blood and heat poison accumulate in various tissues and organs, the overall immune system of the body decreases, weakening the organs as well as developing skin diseases.The treatment at Soseom Oriental Medicine Clinic eventually goes to the heartVarious diseases such as itching caused by skin diseases, red erythema, skin fever, keratin, and swelling rash are defensive signals sent to the skin when the body begins to feel threatened. Therefore, the Sosom Oriental Medicine Clinic helps the functions of Chapter 5, Part 6 work smoothly while detoxifying blood poisoning. Fermented drugs and fermentation enzymes, acupuncture needles, constitutional acupuncture, diet therapy, and long-term detoxification rehabilitation treatment are provided. This removes blood poison, cleans blood, and restores the body’s immune system.
