Some kind of hay fever / allergy / mild asthma.
I realise it's not 'serious' in the grand scheme of things, but it's really affecting my life and my sleep.
Had phlegm / post nasal drip for years and years and that's bad enough, but recently it also includes such delights as
Hours upon hours of streaming / blocked nose / sneezing almost every day
Taking in too much air when blowing that I get heartburn and trapped wind. Can't burp so this is horribly uncomfortable until it comes out other way
Throbbing bridge of nose
Even my teeth hurt at times
Itchy skin
Sometimes wheezing and a bit hard to get a breath.
It's embarrassing as I'm constantly wiping or blowing my nose or making horrible choking noises trying to get phlegm up.
The final straw has been the past 24 hours. I got 4 hours sleep last night because of it, my neighbour was banging down at me cause of the noise of my nose blowing last night, and I cancelled a family outing this morning cause of embarrassment and just generally feeling shitty because of this.
Finally gave in and took an antihistamine which I found in the cupboard. It's helped somewhat. Not completely but enough.
Please, Please tell me that these tablets work long term and that your body doesn't get 'used' to them??
It's making me miserable.
No idea what I'm allergic to, but it happens when I'm indoors for days and the phlegm has happened year round. I'm guessing dust.
