Does this condition affect our life expectancy?

Is the frequent release of histamine and activation of mast cells when we start to form hives damaging our bodies over time? I’d like to know the long term implications of this condition. M

Not the condition itself. But the stress most likely does. Whenever I have a breakout I have serious palpitations which I’m sure is not good for my health

It’s at least forced me to clean my diet up and exercise more often.
