Allergy symptoms but no allergy?

[indysteel]

Have you lived in your home for a long time? Has anything in your home or working environment changed? Beyond having allergies myself, I'm not an expert, but is it possible there's an environmental contaminant or irritant that's bothering you rather than an allergen?

It is also possible to have allergy like symptoms, especially a runny, stuffy nose without having an allergic reaction. It's called (creatively...) non allergic rhinitis - most of the same symptoms, just without an immune response. It has a number of causes from hormones to mechanical irritants.

It is quite surprising that your allergy doc wouldn't know about this though...

Is your pillow (mattress/bedspread...) down? Feathers do it to me, and I don't have an 'allergy' to them.
Also, an irritant, so dog/cat hair or dust/dust mites all can be irritants... sterilize your bedroom.

How about an air purifier with a HEPA filter? That and regular dusting helped me out a lot.

I know the dusting part sounds stupidly simple but I am not very good about dusting. Especially around the headboard area. I have a good gap between the headboard and mattress so dust collects down there. I vacuum that every few months and dust my bedroom regularly, plus use some of the allergen blocking things mentioned above.

I can always tell when I'm late on my cleaning by how I feel in the morning.

Out of curiosity, are you taking ,or have you taken, any allergy meds? If so, do they provide any relief? Or have you tried something like a neti pot?

If you have ever had any leaks in ceilings or at windows you probably have mold in the walls or in the attic. Mold can cause symptoms like this.

Asthma can cause runny nose/itchy eyes. The reason I asked, is that allergies alone don't cause your lungs to hurt. You can have allergy induced asthma, as well as exercise induced asthma. You said a couple of things that raised my suspicions...
I have both, but maybe you should have a pulmonary function test, just to make sure. I rarely wheeze with asthma, just feel chest tightness, unless I am very sick, like with bronchitis. It took me awhile to et tis under control, and it's been years since it's bothered me.
