A member asked:

If i've never had asthma can i suddenly have an attack and die from pollen allergies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There isn't such thing as an allergic rhinitis attack. You will just have to suffer through the pollen like so many of us. Try Claritin (loratadine) or zyrtec for some allergy relief.
