severe pet allergies - anyone else?!

welp...I did my allergy test this past Friday afternoon and everything that I was allergic to was pretty mild, with dogs probably causing the most reaction on my skin.  I was mildly allergic to: dogs, cats, pigweed, bermuda grass & lamb's quarters.

since I'm still having fairly frequent heart palpitations and fluttering, even when sleeping, it's off to get an ekg test done tomorrow AM, just to be on the safe side.

All of those specific allergies respond quite well to immunotherapy (allergy shots), with significant improvement usually seen within 3 months.

the allergist wants to see if my symptoms can be controlled with OTC meds first before deciding to do more sensitive testing and/or looking at different treatment options. I'll check back with them in a few months if things get out of hand.

All the best with that ekg test, Andrew.  I hope your problem is nothing serious.

thanks! I'm hoping to at least find out a diagnosis and work on a treatment plan from there..

Hope it works out for you with minimal treatment.
