Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Everytime I'm out of the house for a little while I usually feel great and I try to tell myself maybe I was actually just still getting over the cold I had 2 months ago... and then I get home and I get what I call the sticky ickies (congestions in the back of my throat), my sinuses feel tight, my lungs feel a slight pressure, and my eyes hurt. I get a metallic, bitter taste in my mouth and sometimes my tongue kinda burns and my gums feel sore. I always have red eyes now, unless I use my allergy drops but in the house they stay red and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and look in the mirror and my eyes are as red as they would be after I'd been crying for an hour straight. Sometimes I have a dry cough, too. And I was getting chronic headaches until my doctor recommed drinking at least 55 oz of water a day, so when those headaches come, which is still at least once a day usually accompanied by fuzzy headedness, I drink as much water as I possibly can and that does seem to help thank god, I really couldn't take those anymore. But I also seem to have cottonmouth that the water doesn't help, and occasionally a soar throat. Is there anything else that could cause this kind of reaction? Granted I do have asthma and allergies, they are usually mild and only react when I am in direct contact with something specific such as cats or a room full of dogs and that reaction is usually my nose running and my eyes itching, not my sinuses feeling like they're closing up and allergy meds actually help with those allergies (allergy meds and painkillers don't help with these symptoms). My husband does not smoke in the house, thank goodness or I'd probably be dead already on top of everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
