Is Loss Of Appetite With Nasal Congestion & Lack Of Breath Common Due To Pollen Season?
My face feels sunburned and hot but I m not sunburned. I just do not feel well in general. Some shortness of breath, lack of appetite, nasal congestion. I have type 2 diabetes and take medication for high blood pressure. We are in the middle of spring pollen season here and the cottonwood looks drifting snow. I m really kind of scared and don t know if I should call my daughter to take me in to Urgent Care.

Hi there...
Yes, allergies could present that way.
Have you tried drinking warm water at regular intervals.It might help.
Do steam inhalation 3 times a day.
A tablet of cetirizine might help, if symptoms are due to allergy.
However, it would be better if a physician examinaed the chest to make sure there is no wheezing/chest infection, which might warrant further medications like bronchodilators or antibiotics.
Hope this helps.
