Question - Allergies Message Board

rugrats4 · 08-04-2004, 11:21 AM

Hi all, I'm new to the boards, although I have been lurking for a while! I have a question to ask. About 2 years ago I went to the emergency room because I had the worst tingling feeling in my face. It is along my cheekbones and cheeks, I don't feel lightheaded, but eventually my whole body will feel tingly and a little hard to concentrate. After doing blood work and xrays, the dr. there perscribed Claritin thinking it might be allergy realted. I could not take those, they gave me massive jitters!! Sorry for carrying on, my question is do any of you allergy sufferers feel this tingling sensation in your face?
I should also tell you I am still having these feelings, especially when it is hot outside. I live in the SE and today the heat index is about 110!
Any replies will be appreciated.
Thanks!

I get that a little bit sometimes, but only when allergies and sinus inflammation is really bad.
