Allergies and anxiety

[kww5190]

Does anyone experience higher anxiety or panic when their allergies are bad? I get horrible sinus pressure and headaches from allergies and they always seem to trigger my anxiety. I have just started taking Claritin to see if it helps but it's been 5 days and no relief. I feel bad for my husband and kids, they wanted to go hiking in the poconos and I made us cancel last minute the other day because I was afraid that my anxiety would get so bad and I wouldn't be close enough to a hospital if something happened like I passed out or something.

I do the same thing. I guess pressure in my head brings on thoughts of other problems. I did a search the other day and found that anxiety or panic attacks are worse when there is high humidity or changes in the barometric pressure. Makes sense!! Heavy air is harder to breath which can feel like the breathing problems when attacks start.
Very interesting I thought!!
God bless! :)
