What are allergy symptoms?
Is it possible to suddenly develop allergies if I didn’t have them before?

Allergies can cause intense discomfort when you experience a reaction to a substance you are allergic to. At Piniella Asthma + Allergy, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of allergies, so you can receive the care you need to reduce your symptoms.

When should I see an allergist for potential food allergies?


Having a food allergy can not only cause frequent gastrointestinal discomfort but can lead to serious allergic reactions if left undiagnosed or untreated. Food allergies can be hereditary, so if there is a history of allergic reactions in your family, you may wish to have yourself or your child tested. If you notice that you often feel uncomfortable, experience itching or swelling in your mouth, or develop a skin rash or hives after a meal, it is best to see a doctor who can appropriately test for and diagnose a food allergy. There are eight foods that account for approximately 90% of all food-related allergies. These foods include tree nuts, dairy, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish, peanuts, and eggs.

What are allergy symptoms?


Allergic reactions may manifest in many ways, depending on the allergen and the person who has encountered it. You can experience an allergic reaction anywhere in the body. This includes symptoms that affect your eyes, nose, lungs, stomach, skin, throat and your sinuses. One of the most common allergic reactions is rhinitis, also called hay fever. Rhinitis can be triggered by a wide range of environmental allergens including pollen, mold, pet dander, or dust mites, among others. The symptoms of rhinitis often include congestion, itchy eyes, sneezing, and a runny nose. Contact dermatitis or hives may happen when your skin contacts specific substances including medications, animals, harsh chemicals, certain foods, or insect bites and stings.

A common cause of contact dermatitis is poison ivy and the condition may take several hours or days to develop. Some patients also experience allergy-induced asthma, which can cause chest tightness, wheezing, and chronic cough. While rare, anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and should be treated immediately. Symptoms of anaphylaxis include a significant drop in blood pressure, hives, swelling of the throat or tongue, difficulty breathing, vomiting or diarrhea, and even loss of consciousness.

Is it possible to suddenly develop allergies if I didn’t have them before?


Yes; unfortunately, many people may find themselves experiencing uncomfortable allergy symptoms in adulthood when they have spent most of their life free from them. Doctors still do not fully understand how or why this happens, but it is possible for men and women of any age to develop new or more severe allergies. If you find that you are suddenly experiencing allergy symptoms, but are not sure of the exact cause, making an appointment with an allergist can help you understand your new allergies, so you can benefit from a comprehensive treatment plan designed by an allergy specialist. At Piniella Asthma + Allergy, we provide extensive treatment options including immunotherapy that can help train your immune system to react more appropriately to certain foods or environmental allergens that cause your symptoms. If you are new to experiencing allergies, having the support and care of an allergy specialist will help ensure you take advantage of the most effective treatments available.

If you are looking for an experienced allergist to help you identify and address your allergy symptoms, contact Piniella Asthma + Allergy today.
