Hey folks,
It’s been a challenging year to say the least with all that’s been going on in the world. For us health worriers I’m sure the pandemic has not been helpful to our mental health. I’m sending positive vibes out to everyone to stay strong!
So one thing that I’ve been having trouble with lately is my seasonal allergies. They don’t tend to hit me every year but this year is a doozy. I’ve been trying every over the counter antihistamine possible but nothing seems to be working. For me it’s mostly nasal swelling, fatigue, itchy eyes and ears and this year I’ve had shortness of breath and some tingling on my tongue.
Unfortunately I consulted doctor google and saw all the nasty stuff I should have avoided. But now my anxiety is up and it’s difficult to tell what is anxiety symptoms and what is allergy symptoms. Like last night I was feeling short of breath and then all of a sudden I got a sharp pain in my right breast area and I could breath fine again. I immediately knew this was my muscles tensing up because I’ve had this happen before.
Another thing that’s bothering me right now is I can feel this pressure behind my nose and in the corners of my eyes, has anyone had this from anxiety or is it an allergy symptom.
My anxiety is mostly geared around my allergies turning into an anaphylactic attack or that I have new allergies to dogs because we have a dog and I couldn’t imagine living like this moving forward. But my dog is my best friend so I refuse to give him up. I’m trying to tell myself that the symptoms didn’t start until the snow started to melt and I’ve had my dog for 3 years with no issues but anxiety is a jerk and doesn’t let you think rationally.
Anyway, I guess I’m just struggling a bit.
Hope everyone is well!
