I am an allergy suffer from the time I was
10 years old. I'm now 51 and still suffer from
allergies.
I myself believe that allergies are a contributor
to CH. I have several things kick up when spring
and late summer come along.
This year about a month before my CH came back,
(last episode was 3 years ago) I came down with
chronic asthma. The doctor said the weather
has been so dry that alot of people expecially
older adults were experiencing asthma, just
after I get it under control here comes CH,
I'm not sure what the trigger was, but something
triggered the asthma, and the CH.
I don't know if this gives you any piece of mind
in wondering about allergies, but I think my
allergies triggered asthma, and the CH, maybe
the weather or enviromental conditions are
not good then we have a potential for problems.
