This self-screening tool is not a substitute for a comprehensive allergy screening or consultation with a health care professional. If you suspect you may have allergies, a simple skin or blood test can accurately determine the type of allergens that cause reactions for you.
Talk to your health care provider if:
- Your symptoms include the warning signs of asthma
such as
- Struggling to catch your breath;
- Wheezing and coughing; or
- Frequent shortness of breath or tightness in your chest.
- Your allergies are causing secondary symptoms such as sinus infections or difficulty breathing.
- Your allergies are severely interfering with your ability to carry out day-to-day activities or continue to degrade your quality of life.
- Taking medications such as antihistamines and other medications does not control your allergy symptoms.
