When stress levels are increased, the chances of having an attack are also raised. So in order to avoid having serious allergy attacks, try and keep your stress levels to a minimum.

If your initial attempts at finding a treatment have failed, keep trying. There are many allergy medications out there, and different ones work better with different issues. Some people are better served by an allergy spray in conjunction with an allergy shot, while others need a different approach. Smoking is extremely harmful to anyone suffering with allergies.
