Great question and while I have not gone to an allergist since my current breathing problems flared up, forty years ago when I suffered from asthma I also had allergies to ragweed, pollen, dust, etc. Maybe because of age my sensitivity has been heightened, but the symptoms are different because I am not coughing, sneezing, wheezing, or have itchy eyes. Still, it's something to consider and will talk to my GP about it when I speak with her next week. Thanks for your suggestion.
AC turned on? Very rarely so far and, believe it or not, my heat came on yesterday. C'mon, it's almost Memorial Day. :Sigh:
