Alan Goldsobel, MD, Allergist from Tivic Health on How to Manage Your Texas Allergies
San Francisco, March 4, 2020 – Spring is here and so are the tree and grass pollens that signal the start of allergy season. Major cities in Texas such as McAllen, El Paso, San Antonio, and metropolitan areas like Dallas and Austin are among the top U.S. cities with the highest pollen counts, making these regions particularly challenging for allergy sufferers.
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) most seasonal spring allergies – known as hay fever or seasonal rhinitis - are caused by tree pollen as the trees bud and grow new leaves. Some of the most common Texas trees producing allergy-aggravating pollen are cedar, birch, poplar, willow, aspen, and beech.
“Where you live can impact the start and end of allergy season, and the severity of your symptoms,” said Dr. Alan Goldsobel, allergy and immunology specialist based in San Jose, California and Advisory Board Member for Tivic Health Systems. “Common symptoms include itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, scratchy throat, dark circles under the eyes and nasal and sinus congestion. Less common symptoms can come from sinus pressure caused by hay fever, including facial pain, sinus headache, earache, or loss of smell. Many patients rely on prescription and over the counter allergy medicine but there are other drug-free solutions such as the game-changing ClearUP® Sinus Pain Relief, a small handheld device that uses microcurrent waveform to treat and relieve sinus pain.”
