If you suffer from a runny nose, sneezing, sinus congestion, watery eyes, itchy skin, red eyes, or a scratchy throat, you may have allergies. The physician at the Asthma & Allergy Clinic Of Hattiesburg PLLC can perform a comprehensive physical examination and allergy tests to determine what you’re allergic to. Specialists in nasal allergy in Hattiesburg MS are also aware of the following unusual signs of allergies that may be detected during your examination.
Muscle Tenderness
If your allergist at the Asthma & Allergy Clinic Of Hattiesburg PLLC determines that you have muscle tenderness during your examination, he or she may suspect that it’s related to your allergies. Allergic reactions promote the release of pro-inflammatory chemicals such as cytokines into your bloodstream.
When this happens, it triggers a systemic inflammatory response, which can lead to muscle tenderness, joint inflammation, and body-wide pain. Once the specialist in nasal allergy in Hattiesburg, MS recognizes and treats your allergies, your muscle tenderness and pain will subside.
Low Blood Pressure
If your allergist notices that your blood pressure is especially low, he or she may suspect that allergies are to blame. Low blood pressure may be caused by the release of too much histamine into your bloodstream caused by allergic reactions. In addition to low blood pressure, allergy-related histamine release may cause wheezing, shortness of breath, a rapid pulse, and cardiac arrhythmia.
