couple, us we him her.

It's that time of year.

Scratchy watery eyes, peppery runny nose, sneezing for those of us with asthma a bit wheezy.

I have the same every year around about now and unless particularly high pollen count,it settles down by June.

But the similarities between hayfever and covid 19 symptoms are very similar.

The main differences being.

No high temperature with hayfever.

Usually (unless you have asthma) you don't cough with hayfever.

It's a very confusing situation.

Yes i heard afew people including myself in this predicament. Tbh as we on strict lockdown, just keep to any other contact to bare minimum, only essential contact and at a 2 metres distance. I am one of the key workers who still need to go out every day so i litterly became ocd about germs to protect myself and others i need to be in contact with.... I just can't believe i still getting messages about meeting on fab... One of the guys suggested a house party...

So the symptoms are very different. IE you dont get itchy eyes and rarely sneeze with the virus, you dont have a high temp with hay fever.

No the basic symptoms are similar.

Look at the CDC website

And various other health websites.

Point is some people may confuse one for the other.

Either panic or not take it seriously.

The symptoms are very similar no need for sarcastic

If it wasn't the case I'm pretty sure that the CDC wouldn't put up a whole page dedicated to this on their website !

I feel for hayfever suffers as normally you take anti histamine tablets , but there reduce your immune response to pollen , but right now you can not take as reducing your immune system in any way is extremely dangerous, so all hayfever suffers will have to suffer

But they haven’t. I just fact checked and the symptoms listed are Cough, Fever, Shortness of breath. In some cases it can include Trouble breathing. Pain in the Chest, Blueness of the lips.

The previous poster, like myself was not being sarcastic, they were pointing out that the differences were more different than they were similar.

So not like hay fever

And not sarcasm

"The cough with hayfever is a wet cough and like a wheeze. The corna cough is dry the virus causes blockages to the lungs"

A bit confusing when they say aerosol droplets landing on surfaces and in the air are ways corona is transmitted.

Being a dry cough.

Just space out to be on the safe side I suppose.

Rape is already flowering in the fields, which is very early. I am already taking my hay fever meds. I am a care worker and I cannot work with streaming eyes a constantly runny nose.

There is definitely a difference. Dry cough and high temperature are recognisable symptoms.

If you have hayfever and asthma you will get a dry cough and breathing problems peck flow dropping from 450 to around 250 to 300 for me

Only bit missing is a very high temperature

But it's very easy to get a chest infection at 250 so yes then a high temperature as well

"

A little tip you might find useful is a little dab of vaseline on your nostrils in the morning. Its not a cure once you start sneezing, but it can prevent hayfever symptoms flaring up.

Correct. It is suggested that hay fever sufferers actually have a strong immune system as they produce histamine for innocuous things like pollen.

This is the conundrum for me. I'm trying to be aware of any changes to my normal asthma dry cough. A "good" peak flow for me is around 275 and my asthma is exacerbated by high pollen levels, with my peak flow often dropping to just under 200. I'm shielding so hoping being mostly inside will be some protection from the rising pollen levels, and in turn keep my asthma on an even keel

I use Beconase, I have to go easy with it as I also have slight asthma.

Got it bad when the tree pollen was strong a few years ago.

I also get strained neck from surpressing the sneezes.

As soon as June arrives it settles down.

Picks up again in August even September then we're hitting flu season....hay ho.

That might explain why I rarely get ill.

I don't see how anyone who normally gets hayfever, could confuse the symptoms with COVID-19.

However, if you don't normally get hayfever and it causes an asthma effect, I can see how people could confuse the symptoms.

Histamine is produced by mast cells, not only in response to allergy, but also in localised infections. That's one of the contributors to the inflammatory response that occurs with wounds, for example. Antihistamines do not suppress the immune system because they don't actually reduce histamine secretion, they actually block the histamine receptors and thus the effects of histamine are reduced.

Tree pollen from later flowering trees. You are usually allergic to either tree or grass pollen. Some poor people suffer from both

Mine starts as soon as the trees start to bud can be as early as early Feb , nothing generally touches it when the day is high in pollen , will stop may June time. I never use to have it till working in London near Chelsea flower show and one particular afternoon walking to tube you could see the pollen haze in the air, from that day I get it every year. Must if been an overload of pollen that triggered it off.

no not really thanks for the sarcasm.

Asthma still play's up regardless on antihistamines.

"

I'm allergic to dust, but not pollen. So I get the sneezing all year round. coupled with a post nasal drip (permanently runny and itchy nose). My immune system is a bit buggered.

To make things worse I have been misdiagnosed with exercised induced asthma, since 1982. Pandora's box has well and truly had her doors blown off, my symptoms are:

Bent septum corrected by surgery

Collapsing right nostril, missed by surgery

Post nasal drip

Itchy nose

Dust allergy

Dysfunctional breathing (too shallow and fast at rest, but too subtle for the untrained to notice)

Gastric reflex disease (prone to heartburn and vomit flavoured burps)

Had the full rainbow of inhalers, to no joy. Montelucast has given me cataracts, according to Specsavers.

So calling this pseudo-asthma is what I'm calling it. Bloody frustrating is more like it.

And now that I've been diagnosed with psoriasis, don't help either.

Whoever said that exercise was good for ya...
