Afraid to go outdoors. Testing UK

I am in the UK. Over the years I have had cause in the summer to use antihistamine as I get hay fever symptoms. Some years have been worse than others. I have reacted to a local anaesthetic a few years ago at the dentist and due to this I had some allergy testing done at a hospital. This only returned results of anaesthetic and perfume allergy (both slight). I have no idea what stuff they tested me for but it was quite a few things.

Last year I reacted badly to rape. I had to stay indoors as the anti histamines were only helping a little. This year is the same . I wanted to go out fishing today. I noticed it was windy and that the sun periodically shone but feeling brave I took an antihistamine and went . After only half an hour of being around bushes and trees etc my nose went numb, my nostrils dried up and got extremely hot. My lips buzzed , my sinuses started to hurt and my chest felt tight (no wheezing). I came home and now I am scared to go out again.

Testing by the local authority apparently is almost non existant. If I do get an appointment the waiting time will be months away and I will have to travel out of my area. Does anyone have any advice for me please? I feel I need testing for specifics...outdoor pollens, environment?, inside the house pet dander and dust. I have looked for a private allergist but there doesnt seem to be one in our area and I dont know if one can trust them.

Thanks for reading.

Re: Afraid to go outdoors. Testing UK

Are you speaking of the rape plant that Canola oil is made from? Do you use Canola cooking oil in the UK? Thanks.

Re: Afraid to go outdoors. Testing UK

If you can make an appointment with the allergist, but in the meantime, have your GP prescribe a prescription antihistimine and nosespray. They work much better than what you can buy at the store
