What Are The Symptoms Of Mold Allergy?

default
Posted on Wed, 2 Apr 2014
Question: Hi, I was just interested in seeing if I possibly have a mold allergy. I am not sure if it is in my house. I wake up every morning with my sinuses feeling thick which causes a headache. I bought sheets within the last 6 months and feel that they could be causing my systems. My eyes are itchy to the point that I have cuts on my lids.

Brief Answer: most likely you have an allergy! Detailed Answer: Hello! Considering your old history of asthma it is likely that you are having an allergy although i cannot tell you as to what you are allergic to! Your symptoms are typical of allergy and you should meet an allergy doctor before these increase and you develop other diseases like asthma and skin disorders. To find out what exactly you are allergic to ,, you will need to undergo a special test called as skin prick test and once that is known , you can be treated accordingly! I would also like to add that most of the time people will be allergic to a variety of things and not just one thing , so please do undergo the test! Thanks
