What Causes Tickling In Throat, Tightness In Chest And Running Nose?
I get a tickle in my throat then I sneeze several times and my nose gets runny and I begin to cough and get a tightness in my chest. Smells set this off, an AC blowing on me, my computer. it takes a while for these symptoms to go away. I use nasanex and ipratropium and dulera. they work for only a short time. I have been told this is non allergic rhinitis . It has gotten worse since i moved from a city close to the water to an area north with lots of trees. I have had allergy test and show no allergys about 5 years ago. I am miserable
According to the history of your symptoms I strongly believe that this is a clear allergy. In your current treatment add antihistamines such as Loratadine twice orally tablets for up to 10 days. Please discuss with your doctor
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
