Tightness In Eyes, Dizziness. Seasonal Allergies?

Hi I just had a question...but it s hard to explain the feeling I have in my eyes as if they are tight. When watching tv for a couple of mins my eyes feel fine but when I go to move them from left to right or vice versa without moving my head my eyes feel tight is the only way I can describe it, sometimes they feel dizzy.....I saw my primary dr and he said he thinks I have seasonal allergies...any thoughts would be appreciated !

Hello Melissa,

It is quite difficult to understand what exactly you are suffering from and how to relate this to seasonal allergies.
In allergic reactions that involve the eye, one gets red itchy sore eyes known as conjunctivitis. There can be some swelling around the eye; and along with runny nose, itchy nose.
The tight feeling that you get - is it because it is red and inflamed and you are unable to open it; or because it is swollen?
If you do get headaches, in front of the head, then all this could be related to allergic rhinosinusitis.
If you think all these are plausible, then blood tests (specific IgE) against dust mites, tree and grass pollens, animal dander should be done to see if this is the case.
If allergies are proven, long acting antihistamines such as cetirizine or loratidine 10mg tablets taken once daily (maximum three times a day) should suffice.

Hope this helps.
Best Wishes.
