Find Relief from Allergies in Lubbock
Understanding Allergy Pain
Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to substances like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold. This reaction triggers inflammation in your sinuses, throat, and airways, leading to symptoms such as:
Persistent nasal congestion
Runny nose and postnasal drip
Sinus pressure and headaches
Fatigue from disrupted sleep
Without proper treatment, allergies can escalate into chronic sinus infections, breathing difficulties, and an overall decrease in quality of life.
Common Allergy Triggers in Lubbock
Lubbock’s dry climate and high winds often stir up allergens that can aggravate symptoms. Some of the most common triggers in the area include:
Pollen: Seasonal allergies from trees, grass, and weeds
Dust Mites: Found in homes, particularly in bedding and upholstery
Mold Spores: Thrive in damp areas, especially after rain
Pet Dander: Proteins from pet fur and saliva that trigger allergic reactions
