Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 19 years of age. I have been suffering from a kind of allergy for almost four years. My mother has been suffering from the same kind of allergy but her case is not worse than mine. I feel a runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose, and eyes, mild rashes after having a shower, and breathing difficulty also. My heartbeat gets faster and more rapid. I am also suffering from noise sensitivity. I cannot tolerate loud voices, my heart starts beating faster and I feel dizziness and headache. In my own residential area, I catch allergies for almost 360 days of the year. I am feeling suffocation and rapid heartbeat. Another thing, whenever I get stuck in some kind of mental or emotional stress, my heart rate becomes faster and irregular, and at that point, in time I feel suffocation too. A nearby doctor suggested me the treatment of a nebulizer, but I am not feeling much better.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and there are two components so I will deal them separately. First, the increased heart rate in stressful conditions: that is anxiety and not uncommon. You can try breathing exercises but if not controlled/or aggravates to full panic attack, you will need CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) by a psychiatrist or psychologist and medication. Best breathing exercise is placing a paper bag over mouth and nose, and completely inflating and deflating it till heart beat and breathing become normal.

Now for your allergy: seems to be allergic rhinitis/sinusitis. You can use a maintenance therapy of tablet Myteka 20 mg once a day with once a day tablet Softin and increase Softin on excessive exposure to allergens like dust, pollen, etc.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
