Why You Should Request an Allergy Test

Spring in Dallas means farmers' markets, concerts in the park — and allergies. Don’t suffer through the season, get an allergy test and find out what’s causing your symptoms. Here are six compelling reasons to schedule your test soon.

Dallas, Texas, is a great place to live, but it also has its fair share of environmental conditions that can trigger seasonal allergies. Our hot and humid climate, combined with high pollen counts, mold spores, and pollution, can leave you feeling miserable for months on end.

But many Dallasites may not even realize they suffer from allergies, making them miss out on the benefits of testing. If you’re one of them, Dr. Asif Aziz and our Prestige Primary Care team encourage you to schedule a visit for an allergy test. Here’s a look at the signs you might be a good candidate for allergy testing and some reasons you should consider booking an appointment soon.

Signs you should get an allergy test

Some Dallasites have lived with their allergy symptoms for so long, they’ve accepted them as the status quo. But you don’t have to live like that. How do you know if you have allergies? Check out this list of common allergy symptoms:

Runny nose
Itchy eyes
Watery eyes
Red eyes
Constant cough
Sneezing
Nasal congestion
Sinus headaches
Eczema
Rashes

If these sound familiar, you might have allergies. Allergy testing can identify what’s bugging you. Depending on your symptoms, Dr. Aziz might run a blood test or a skin test. He monitors your reaction to various allergens and lets you know the best treatment to control your symptoms.

Reasons to get an allergy test

The overriding reason to get an allergy test is to feel better, but there’s a lot more behind that statement than meets the eye. Here are six excellent reasons you should consider requesting an allergy test from Prestige Primary Care.

1. Improved quality of life

Seasonal allergies make you miserable and affect your work, school, and social activities. Allergy testing determines what’s triggering your symptoms, so you can avoid the trouble-makers and improve your overall well-being.

2. Reduced symptoms and frequency of allergy attacks

Our allergy testing gives you personalized treatment options tailored to your specific allergens, so you can manage your symptoms more effectively and reduce the frequency of your allergy attacks.

3. Better sleep

If you have allergies, you know getting a good night's sleep is tough, so you go through your day feeling tired and drowsy. By identifying and treating your allergens, you can enjoy a more restful sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

4. Enhanced respiratory health

One of the worst things about allergies is that they inflame your airways, making you vulnerable to respiratory problems like asthma. With allergy testing, we can pinpoint and manage your allergens, reducing your risk of developing respiratory complications.

5. Improved mental health

Dealing with allergies day in and day out can be overwhelming and stressful; for some, that’s an ideal recipe for anxiety and depression. In many cases, choosing to undergo an allergy test means choosing better mental health.
