Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having allergy to dust and pollen you may get the symptoms which you are having.As you know you are allergic to dust and pollen I would suggest you to test for absolute eosinophill count (AEC) to know the presence of allergy in the body.
I would suggest you to undergo skin prick test with existing all dusts and pollen to identify the allergen causing these symptoms. After identifying allergen it will be easy to avoid the allergen if you are not able to avoid you can undergo Immunotherapy against particular antigen and reduce your symptoms.
Thank you.
