Hayfever symptoms suddenly all year round - any ideas?

Wondered if anyone else had experienced this and got to the bottom of the cause?

I’ve had hayfever since my teens, in the last few years I’ve noticed it occasionally in early autumn and this year it’s been literally every day all through autumn and winter. Itchy roof of mouth mainly driving me mad and violent sneezing attacks / itchy eyes. I’ve also had Eustachian tube dysfunction (inner ear thing) causing tinnitus, which my GP says can be linked to allergies.

It has also coincided with eczema flare ups, which I haven’t suffered with for about 10 years.

I’m wondering if it’s mould or dust as we live in an old Victorian house that can get quite damp, but I have been trying to keep on top of these things without noticing any improvement in symptoms. We don’t have any pets, no obvious changes in my life I can think of since I started getting it more frequently.

I appreciate its quite a low level allergy compared to some of the problems posted about on here, but it’s driving me mad!

I've no idea but my daughter and I keep getting itchy eyes and sneezing fits for no apparent reason . We both suffer with hay fever in the summer months but just seems to be all year round now .

This is interesting as my ds has said the same.

It’s maddening isn’t it. Sorry to hear others suffering too. Mine keeps waking me up at night it’s very annoying. Can manage it reasonably well with antihistamines but not sure how great it is to take them every day, year round

Maybe you have become allergic to house dust mites?

Hey Op, everything you mention is histamine related. Antihistamines can help somewhat in the short term but aren’t a good long-term solution as they’re only blocking the histamine receptors rather than dealing with the histamine excess/triggers. I’d suggested looking into ‘histamine intolerance’ as a lot of the principles in dealing with that will likely help you too. Also, if you’re in the UK, look up the Toxaprevent histamine health pack as it’ll quickly help to clear the excess histamine. Hope that helps x
