You start sneezing as soon as you wake up in the morning, you might be allergic to this thing.

In fact, sneezing in the morning can be due to an allergy caused by the environment around you, such as dust in the bedroom, fungus, pet dander or pollens.

Do you start sneezing continuously every morning as soon as you wake up? Does your nose start running or get blocked, and do you feel tired or irritable all day? If this happens, then it is not a matter of normal cold, but it can be a sign of a special type of allergy, which is also called allergic rhinitis in common language.

 

Many people take this problem lightly. They think that maybe this may be due to change in weather, but in reality, sneezing in the morning can be an allergy caused by the environment around you, such as dust in the bedroom, mold, pet dander, or pollens. In such a situation, let us tell you today what is allergic rhinitis? Why does it happen and what are its symptoms?

What is allergic rhinitis?

Allergic rhinitis is an allergy of the nose. In this, when a person comes in contact with an allergen, such as dust particles, pollen, small particles coming out of plants, pet hair or dander and fungus or moisture, then his body immediately starts reacting, due to which the nose runs, sneezes and eyes water and sometimes there is a sore throat as well. 

Why do we face more problems in the morning only?

In the morning, the level of a chemical called Histamine increases in the body. This Histamine further intensifies the symptoms of allergy. Also, when we sleep overnight, dust accumulates in our room. Pollen is in the air, allergens accumulate in the bed, pillows and curtains, windows and doors are open, due to which moisture and external allergens come in. Due to all this, as soon as we breathe in the morning, we start sneezing.
