Abstract
Here, I present a case of a female patient, age 45 years, for whom the uncontrolled mast cell degranulation created many issues related to allergy like, skin rash, itching, breathing discomfort, frequent throat infection, GERD, migraine, fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy, depression, anxiety disorder, constipation etc. For the patient, it was observed that calcium channel blockers seem to control the unnecessary and uncontrolled mast cell degranulation. CCB seemed to have a role to play in mast cell degranulation.
