They will give you a quick physical\u00a0assesment that will include weight, blood pressure and a look in your nasal passages and throat. Once they gather that information they will sit down with you and discuss a course of treatment. Expect your doctor to be very thorough with the questions. It might be a good idea to think about your present and past allergy symptoms and be prepared to discuss them in detail with the doctor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask questions! Doctors want you to understand your condition and learn how to manage it. Make a list of questions before you see the doctor.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to report anything to your doctor that doesn&#8217;t seem quite right. Be sure to include any new or different allergy symptoms you may be having.<\/li>\n<li>Take all your medicines to the appointment or make a list of <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">all<\/span><\/strong> of the medications you are currently taking-including over the counter meds and how many milligrams of each. OTC medications include vitamins, minerals and herbal preparations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In part 3 of this series on human allergies and pets. We&#8217;ll discuss the various treatment options that may be available to you through your allergist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: This post is part 2 of a 4 part series on human allergies and pets.\u00a0 We do love our little Yappers but let&#8217;s face it-when you suffer from allergies, like I do, they can be a major trigger and make my life a total misery for some.
