shan1212 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Does anyone get allergy shots? Do you notice an improvement of POTS symptoms with your allergies under better control? I've noticed an increase in allergy symptoms in the last year. They were always a seasonal nuisance, but during pregnancy I was able to go off anti-histamines and was fine. Now I have constant sinus pain, headaches, and feeling like my throat is closing up. I got sicker and sicker this December until I figured out it was the Christmas tree. It got to the point where I was taking Zyrtec and Claritin and popping Benadryl throughout the day. So I got tested recently, and am allergic to grass (which I've always known because my throat is on fire when people are mowing), all sorts of trees, dust mites, and pets. I've begun the shots, and it's too early to see relief, but I am hopeful that this time next year, I will have some relief. I don't know if it's the allergy meds or the allergies themselves, but I do think they contribute to my fatigue. Does anyone have any insight on the connection between allergies and POTS? Any experience with shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalia01 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Shan, I too found out that I had a problem with Christmas trees. My allergist said it was most likely the mold that was on the tree. I have a lot of allergies and sensitivities as well and have put off immunotherapy worrying that I may aggravate things. I'm glad you posted this because I also wonder what others have experienced with the allergy shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
