Have seasonal allergies. Taking nasal spray, Zyrtec and decongestants. Guide
Patient: I have seasonal allergies and take nasal spray, zyrtec, and a preventative inhaler.  I have been having problems for the past few weeks.  Pressure in ears, having body aches (on and off), feel very tired... Have been taking 12 hr decongestants every 12 hours and still popping in ears etc.  I do not have a fever - usually don't have fevers.Not sure if I need to see a specialist or look into allergy testing.. have avoided that due to having to be off med's for 5 days prior to testing..  Even when I have a sinus infection (earlier this winter) no real sinus pressure to speak of.  I did have tubes in my ears twice as a child. Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magic  It may be best to do the allergy testing to identify what specific allergen is causing your symptoms. If this can be identified and eliminated to some extent then your symptoms would improve and hopefully the amount of medication needed.  Allergy testing can be done by a blood test or skin testing. The allergist would discuss the choice with you.  I hope this helps
