Saanvi Brown, a 28-year-old high school...
Saanvi Brown, a 28-year-old high school teacher, had always been active and healthy. Over the past year, she began experiencing persistent nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and a nagging cough that worsened in the spring and fall. She initially dismissed it as recurring colds, but the symptoms began affecting her sleep and energy levels in the classroom. Her primary care doctor, suspecting allergies, referred her to an Internal Medicine specialist for allergy testing. The doctor recommended a comprehensive skin prick test to identify specific environmental triggers. Saanvi was nervous about the multiple tiny pricks on her forearm but found the procedure quick and only mildly uncomfortable. The test revealed significant allergies to several tree and grass pollens. With a clear diagnosis, she started a targeted regimen of daily antihistamines and a nasal spray. Within two weeks, her congestion and fatigue lifted dramatically. Emotionally, she shifted from frustration and self-blame for being 'run down' to relief and empowerment, finally understanding her body's reactions and gaining control over her symptoms.
