Hello, I've no direct information but I guess that as stress effects the immune system it might aggravate histamine intolerance. You may already have heard of her, but Dr. Janice Joneja has written a book about "Histamine Intolerance". She has written articles for Action Against Allergy (which I'm a member of).

Yes. Absolutely. Try pursed-lip breathing and a low histamine diet. Good luck!

Remember lots of household items- cleaners- and toiletries can increase your histamine bucker as well
