Allergies are a hyper-reactivity to specific substances
that trigger an immune system response. Allergies can
be caused by anything you come in contact with either in
the environment, food or in your home. An allergic
person can experience a variety of symptoms including
itchy, watery eyes, hives or other skin rashes,
sneezing, headaches, stuffy sinuses or digestive
problems like diarrhea or constipation. You may be
surprised by the way your allergies affect you. Some of
the discomforts that may actually be caused by allergies
include:
Eczema
Bed-wetting and Incontinence
Migraines
Bowel problems
Difficulty concentrating
Mood disorders
Low blood sugar
Chronic ear infections
Grinding teeth
Asthma is one of the major illnesses that may be caused
by allergies. Asthma is divided into two types:
Intrinsic asthma which is characterized by
spasms of the air passages in the lungs that occur in
response to a physical irritant i.e.: exercise,
environment, chemicals, cold, air, emotional issues just
to name a few.
Extrinsic asthma is an allergic disorder
and is associated with the immune system response to an
allergy.
Both types are characterized by a difficulty in
breathing, cough, wheeze, and thick mucous in the lung
passageways. Asthma can be life threatening and during
an acute attack, you should seek immediate medical
attention.
