Well: Allergies can cause you to have difficulty breathing. People who suffer from allergies can also have lung problems such as asthma. Getting tested helps a doctor give you special medicines to open up your lungs. Sometimes you are given vaccines like , flu, pneumonia vaccine and pertussis if you are at high risk or as maintenance. Please see your doctor for more answers.

Allergy Tests: Allergy testing is done to determine what you are allergic to, so that you can proceed with possibly avoiding the trigger or receiving allergy shots (immunotherapy) to help get the allergy under some control. The choice is yours.
