I had an appointment with my ophthalmologist yesterday - rescheduled from a week ago when their computer system was down. As Covid restrictions in Michigan have eased since my last visit in February, I noticed some relaxation in protocols in the eye care facility. While masks are still required, they are no longer taking patient temperatures upon entry. Patients no longer have to fill out the Covid questionnaire re: symptoms of Covid, exposure, travel, etc., and the yellow "crime scene" tape that separated seating in the waiting room was removed. Tech told me that they will no longer require masks effective July 1, and things should get back to normal. I was not asked about my vaccination status but told tech that I had my shots in March; it was noted on my chart.
I don't usually have allergy/asthma in the spring and summer but have been experiencing a lot of nasal drainage, scratchy throat, nighttime coughing, and chest tightness for the last couple of weeks. I attributed fatigue to the heat and humidity we've had in recent weeks until I checked my peak flow and noticed that it was in the cautionary rangeI've increased my Qvar inhaler dosage from one to two puffs daily, and have been using Pro-Air (rescue inhaler) along with Robitussion - DM. I finally got a good night's rest and feel much better today. Ophthalmologist told me that they have seen a lot of allergy symptoms in patients for a couple of weeks, so it must be something in the environment.
Be well, thoughts are with you here.
