Health
Allergy symptoms are a result of a person’s immune
system overreacting to something that
is harmless to most people but sparks a reaction
in people sensitive to the trigger. Some symptoms
of allergic reactions, such as sneezing, are
widely known. But people may be surprised to discover
some of the other common allergy symptoms.
According to the American College of Allergy,
Asthma, and Immunology, a host of physical symptoms
are indicative of allergic reactions:
Wheezing, shortness of breath
The College says that wheezing or shortness of
breath are telltale signs of asthma, but notes that
such symptoms also may be indicative of an allergic
reaction. It recommends people see an allergist
if they develop unexplained wheezing that keeps returning
or if the wheezing occurs alongside symptoms
like rapid breathing or diffi culty taking in air.
Wheezing that appears after a person is stung by an
insect, takes a medication, or eats something he or
she is allergic to is symptomatic of an allergic reaction
and requires immediate medical attention.
Cough
The appearance of a dry, persistent cough may
indicate an allergy. Coughs are often a byproduct of
a cold or fl u, but such coughs tend to taper off after
a few days. Chronic dry coughs that linger for more
than three weeks may indicate the presence of an
allergy. Allergy-related coughs may be more prevalent
during certain times of year or in certain environments.
The College notes that chronic dry cough
has been linked to allergies such as hay fever and
may indicate an allergy to pet dander, dust, pollen,
or mold.
Headache
Though few people associate headaches with allergies,
some headaches can be allergy-related.
According to the College, sinus headaches and
migraines have been linked to allergies. Sinus headaches
may be characterized by localized pain over
the sinus area and/or pain in the face that may or
may not be accompanied by a headache. A throbbing
pain on one side of the head indicates a migraine,
the symptoms of which may worsen when exposed
to light. Among the more painful allergy symptoms,
headaches should be discussed with an allergist.
Nausea and vomiting
Nausea and vomiting may be a byproduct of food
allergies. Seasonal allergies rarely, if ever, lead to
nausea or vomiting. However, when a person eats a
food he or she is allergic to, the immune system reacts
to this allergy in much the same way it does to
allergies like hay fever, releasing a chemical called
histamine. When a person is dealing with seasonal
allergies, the histamine his or her body releases
can cause sneezing, runny nose, or other symptoms
commonly associated with such allergies. But when
histamine is released to combat food allergies, it can
cause nausea and vomiting.
Allergies affect people in every corner of the
globe. Recognizing symptoms of allergies can help
people combat them more effectively.
Some symptoms of allergic reactions, such as sneezing,
are widely known. But people may be surprised to discover
some of the other common allergy symptoms.
