Hello,
welcome to HCM,
The history and symptoms are suggesting me that you may be having some allergic reactions. I would suggest you to test for absolute eosinophil count (AEC), which is one of the important marker of allergic reactions.
If there is elevated AEC, You may be allergic to dust, mite, food and pollen. I would suggest you to undergo skin prick test to determine the allergen causing all these reactions.
if you are able to identify the allergen, you can avoid that or you can go for in vitro or in viva treatment.
Thank you.
