Hi I am 53 years old. About 7 years ago I walked through the branches of a silver birch tree in my garden whilst cutting the grass, I breathed in a lot of pollen and nearly passed out as I couldn t get my breath and I was wheeling and coughing that night I had to go to the hospital as I could not breathe properly, they put me on a nebuliser and I felt great I could breathe without any problems. Every year since then I have had hay fever at this time of year, it normally lasts a couple of months so in the summer I will be fine. I go to the doctors every year to try something to help but nothing works, is there anything else I can try to elevate this problem as from about 5 o clock in the evening my nose is blocked solid and every time I swallow I can feel the pressure coming out of my ears, this is driving me mad as it s awkward to eat. Have you any ideas what else I can do
