If you suffer from allergy, you will probably be pleased to read about the worst U.S. cities for allergies. Allergy can ruin our everyday life, as its symtomps varies from mild to severe, but one thing is sure it makes your life difficult. It’s increasingly true, if you are planning to travel somewhere, so it’s wise to check the pollution rate in your destination city. If you have allergy with mild symptoms, it can go with coughing, throat scratching, sneezing, and having rashes. In severe cases its effects are hives, eczema, asthma, breathing problems, and hyptension. Medical treatments can also vary from taking pills to get injections, and the former pills caused extreme drowsiness, that he patiend can hardly be wakened up in the mornings. I can remember when my sister took pills for her allergy, she was always extremely sleepy and she continuously overslept in the mornings, as it was difficult to wake her up. My best friend is also allergic to some kind of pollens, so in spring she used to suffer a lot from sneezing, coughing and she could scarcely breathe through her nose. But later she went to a pulmonologist, who was also a homeopathist, and she got special treatment from the doctor, so she managed to recover from her allergy. So if you suffer from allergy or asthma, it’s worth reading Insider Monkey’s article.
