I have terrible hayfever and the weather has changes seem to make my allergies flare up. I was in a church with a lot of flowers and immediately felt stuffed up nasal congestion and clogged ears. The hear rate was fast when I was around the flowers.
Brief Answer:
Keep the sinus drained if possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for the explanation provided.
From the information I have it seems like you may have a sinus infection since the predisposition it is to all people who have hay fever and respiratory allergies.
Doing nose lavage with saline water 2-3 times day its recommended so the sinuses will remain drained.
If you have symptoms of blocked nose with green-yellow discharge, face tenderness over the sinuses, fever for more then 10 days of not getting better, this will be the time to consider taking an antibiotic.
The reaction you had while you were in contact with the flowers its not an allergy in itself then it is an anxiety reaction to the fear that you may start developing symptoms of allergy. If it has happened only then, then its nothing to worry about. But if it happens while you have no contact with flower and you feel the heart rate more then 100/minute, then you should consider seeing a cardiologist.
Continue using regularly your medication against allergy.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.
