Please provide me more details

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HealthcareMagic..

I can understand your concern. It's very difficult for you as people around you develop allergy symptoms and this is resulting in distress.

What are your main presenting symptoms?

Is there any specific situation during which maximum distress occurs?

What is the opinion of other people around you?

Thanks and Take care.

Please provide me more details in follow up.

Hello thanks for asking

I agree with you that after searching you find this problem as PATM but I'd like to know, whether its your observation only or other people around you also have same observation?

Have anyone complained to you regarding this?

This could be a coincidence also.

Thanks.

Action speak more than words.. people reaction are genuine. Even stranger start develop allergy when they are near to me. But there is no odor.

I understand this, and right now i am doing same. But when every stranger cough sneeze and develop allergic reaction when i am around, the feeling cant explain. This surely not in my head or some psyc issue

Brief Answer:
This could be your assumption.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking

If they are not saying anything but are showing in your behaviour then that might be your speculation. Try to ignore the thoughts. You have to care for yourself only and not for others. I hope you are understating what I mean to say.

If there is any close friend or family member in which you confide. You can ask them if they are having problems with you. This will clear your doubts.

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Try to suppress the thoughts.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

Yes this might not be in your head or any psychotic issue. But before making diagnosis of PATM even psychiatric issues should be ruled out.

Best is to remain relaxed and convince yourself again and again that there is nothing wrong. If others are not complaining to you then why are you bothered. You just have to suppress the awareness you are having that people are allergic to you. Just try to distract yourself from this.

Thanks.
