Are these symptoms of an allergy? And how do I find out? - Allergies Message Board

I have been getting a dry throat and dry eyes. It feels like I want to choke it gets so dry and burns through my nose. It happens when I smell bleach on my roomates hands that does cleaning with it all day and reaks of it at home. Also sometimes when I am reading the paper. It also happened a few times in front of this computer when the window fan was directly on me. I am not sure if this would be an allergy if it happends with all these different things at different times. I also get these like nervous dry swallows. It is so hard to explain. Has anyone ever had anything like this before?

I think it can be, but i found some of my "sinus pain" was in fact due to my space heater at work. Now that i irrigate regularly and can at work on a bad day, those symptoms have subsided. I've always had dry eyes, and a fan can make that worse.. newspaper draws the moisture. I'm also sensitive to smells

stay away from bleach---it is one of the most aggravating irritants for allergies---it literally breaks down your thyroid and robs you of needed iodine to nourish it. it will dry out everything including your hair. chlorine and flouride both in all water in this country is the main cause of allergies, thyroid conditions and cancer. please pass this on to your bleach friend---my mother and i were both bleach freaks until she developed thyroid cancer...
hope this helps...
