The Center for Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Dr. Gadi Avshalomov, M.D. Diplomate of the American Board of Allergy and Immunology

Do allergy symptoms keep you from doing what you want to do?

Do You Suffer From Dr. Gadi Avshalomov

Asthma:

A disorder affecting the airways of the lungs. People with asthma have Allergic airways that cause Wheezing and cough in response to certain “triggers”, leading to difficulty in breathing. The airway narrowing is caused by inflammation and swelling of the airway lining, the tightening of the airway muscles, and the production of excess mucus. This results in a reduced airflow in and out of the lungs. You may be waking up at night coughing or wheezing after exertion. Why suffer; today’s treatments may permit you to breath and live much better.

Allergies:

An allergy is an overreaction of your body’s immune system to substances that usually cause no reaction in most individuals. Reactions can be hives, congestion,

sneezing, coughing, sore throat, headache, and itchy runny eyes and nose. Allergy symptoms are triggered by pollen, molds, dust mites, cockroach and animal dander. For people allergic to these common substances, symptoms can be quite bothersome. And treatment can result in dramatic improvement.

Sinuses:

Sinusitis is caused by an inﬂammation or infection of your sinus cavities. These cavities are located around the nose and behind the eyes. Inﬂammation is your

body’s way of reacting to allergy and infection; this reaction produces redness, swelling, mucus, and pain; it may feel like your head is about to explode. The sinus pressure and pain are unbearable. Your doctor prescribed pills that make you nauseous, and they don’t help. You’re exhausted, depressed and helpless… But don’t despair...You may be suffering from allergies or an immune problem which can be helped.

Eczema:

Eczema ﬁrst appears as an episode of itching and redness of

the skin. You also may have tiny bumps or blisters. When it develops into a long-term condition (chronic eczema), it leads to thickening skin, scaling, ﬂaking, dryness and color changes. There are many types of eczema, depending on the cause, shape and location of the rash. Most are related to allergies or to contact with irritating chemicals. In about 70% of cases, the person (or a family member) has allergic asthma, hay fever or food allergies. Substances that trigger skin allergies include materials used in cleaning products, deodorants, cosmetics and medications. Dermatitis of the earlobes can be caused by an allergy to earrings containing nickel. Chemicals in fragrances, skin cream and lotions, shampoos and shoes or clothing can also cause allergic reactions. There is no reason to itch forever. Treatment is available when the diagnosis is made.
