Hi everyone,

I am allergic to something in the outside air year round. I get mucous on my vocal corRAB and clogged ears when I breath in any outside air. I live near Philadelphia. It subsides quite a bit when I am at the beach on the jersey coast. I've been allergy tested and came up positive for cat, ragweed and dustmites.

Does anyone know what I could be allergic to in the outside air? Could it be ragweed I though ragweed season was over in Noveraber in the northeast and I have symptoms year round.

Any info or common shared experiences would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Ed.
 
One of the most common allergen/irritants/triggers is Vehicle Exhaust, which causes worsening Asthma/Sinusitis, especially for those living in populated cities.
 
Dust mites are everywhere. Also, having the heat on in the winter is a big trigger for sinusitis which can seem like allergies and can also make the dust mites worse. Does an antihistamine help? Or are you going to do injections too?
 
I agree with Machaon that it might be an environmental pollutant setting you off. When you head to the shore, the sea breeze tenRAB to help reduce any pollution/allergens. I get my best relief of allergins by going to the beach!
 
My Asthma was very much under control, until the new highway opened up several blocks away. It definitely increased my Asthma problems, especially in the morning, and I had to take a stronger Asthma meRAB. I changed from Intal to Flovent.
