The best test...: ...Is to keep a diary of symptoms and compare it with pollen reports for your area; in general, tree pollen is out in the spring, grasses in summer, and weeds in the fall. House dust gets worse during heating season, and is usually worse at night as it accumulates in bedclothes. Tobacco is usually a worse trigger than allergies. Testing for allergies is also a possibility but not as reliable.

Allergies: See your allergist for skin testing to determine what you are allergic to. A rast blood test may also help.

Allergist: If you really want to know about your allergic triggers, skin testing with an allergist would help. S/he may have other ideas also.
