I grew up and never had allergies. Back in college, I had a friend with terrible allergies who took allergy medication every day. Her eyes would water, she would sneeze, and look like she was sick.
About ten years ago, I had a cough that would not go away. I never dreamed that it was allergies. I knew I didn’t have a cold. I knew I wasn’t sick, but this cough would just not go away. I went to see my doctor, and they suggested I start taking an allergy pill daily. After I started taking the allergy pill, I didn’t get a cold for a few years. Well, the pollen must be high this year, my allergies really flared up last week. I think it started from sleeping with the windows open at night. My cough was terrible. Allergies can flare up into asthma. I have a prescription for Tessalon pearls for cough and an Albuterol inhaler, which I have not needed for quite some time and were expired.
When I lay down at night to sleep, I cough and cough and keeps me up. Time to work on prevention to keep this from happening in the first place. I shouldn’t have let my medications expire. I asked my doctor for a new inhaler, and it was so expensive, I had to reapprove the order through the pharmacy, so they knew I knew the cost before they just sent it out. I’ve been going on a week of poor sleep now, but the new prescriptions came today. I am hoping for relief soon.
Moral of the story, if this happens to you, don’t wait, go see the doctor and get to the bottom of it. It might be a simple fix.
