I live in the northeast. And I have always had bad allergies in August. Well, this year, around mid-August, I started having trouble sleeping at night - mostly due to a bit of shortness of breathe, wheezing etc. It was mostly just an annoyance except it refused to go away. A couple of hits of benedryl usually knocked me out enough to get to work the next day.

Anyway, it has recently gotten much worse. At this point, I can't walk up stairs or even walk and talk at the same time without getting dizzy from lack of oxygen. And trying to sleep is a disaster. Oddly enough, my nose doesn't run. I am not sneezing or coughing - none of the typical allergic reactions I usually get. So I have an appt with an allergy specialist tomorrow morning.

May I ask for any thoughts, ideas, experiences, or things I should know before seeing the doctor tomorrow? This whole breathing thing is freaking me out.

Oh yeah, here is more. I've also been sick to my stomach for about three weeks. Very annoying.
