Contact your GP first
With sudden severe pain, loss of strength or sensation, fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, unexplained weight loss, symptoms after an accident or when you feel seriously ill.
Seasonal allergy symptoms can make spring and summer unnecessarily heavy.
Does this feel familiar?
Symptoms may include:
Sneezing
Itchy or watery eyes
Blocked or runny nose
Fatigue during pollen season
Sinus pressure
Restless sleep
With hay fever, the immune system reacts strongly to pollen. Treatment does not remove the pollen, but may help some people experience less reactivity.
Acupuncture can be used as supportive treatment before or during the hay fever season. We discuss timing and expectations clearly.
Research into acupuncture for allergic rhinitis is mixed but suggests some people may experience relief. I present it as support, not as a guarantee.
It is often useful to start before the season peaks. If you use medication, you can usually continue it.
“The season felt less intense.”
That differs per person. We evaluate regularly whether treatment is making enough difference.
Usually not. If symptoms are severe, sudden or medically worrying, contact your GP first.
Yes, when that makes sense for your symptoms. I discuss this during the initial consultation.
Discuss first?
I think it is important that you start in the right place. That is why I explain when you can contact me and when speaking to your GP first is wiser.
With sudden severe pain, loss of strength or sensation, fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, unexplained weight loss, symptoms after an accident or when you feel seriously ill.
If you are unsure whether acupuncture, Cesar Exercise Therapy or the combination fits. Also if you are already receiving treatment, use medication, are pregnant or mainly want to know where you can start safely.
During the initial consultation I look at what is appropriate. If my approach is not the right first step, I will say so and think along about a logical next step.
You do not need to know exactly which treatment is right. Send me your question; I will think it through with you personally.
