  1. I have not.how would I go about getting that done

    1. , a good place to start would be by seeing your primary care physician and letting them know you would like some allergy testing. Some PCPs can do the basic allergy testing, while many will give you a referral to an allergist. The two basic kinds of allergy tests are the skin prick test and the patch test, which you can read a bit about here -- https://allergies.net/diagnosis. Bloodwork may also be helpful in pinpointing allergens. While uncomfortable, the skin prick test isn't bad. My son had it done and that's how we learned which environmental allergens were the most problematic for him. And, it may seem weird to get a skin test for allergies that seem to be more sinus related, but the testing does seem to work quite well, even more what may be seen as strictly sinus allergies, if that makes sense. I hope this information helps and don't hesitate to reach out if you need anymore specifics!

  2. I have to admit that your situation has me stumped, . It sounds like something is triggering an allergic response in your body, but I can't pinpoint what it could be. Have you had any allergy testing done?
