Common questions you may have about allergies
Allergies are your body’s way of reacting to foreign proteins or substance AKA allergens. These proteins are generally harmless. However, your immune system often produces substances called antibodies and if you do have allergies, these antibodies may identify an allergen as harmful (even if it isn’t) thereby resulting in inflamed sinuses, airways, or skin.
Symptoms can include sneezing, itchiness, cough, chest tightness, anaphylaxis, runny or stuffy nose, watery eyes, swelling, hives, rash, or wheezing.
Not necessarily. Our doctors will meet with you to determine if a lab test is necessary based on your symptoms. However, you may need to visit a lab if your allergies are severe.
Allergies can affect anyone. No one is certain why some people are allergic to some allergens, while others are not; however, your genes and environment can be a factor. If you do have allergies, your immune response will be oversensitive and signal a chemical response and launch histamines. These chemicals then cause your allergy symptoms.
