Headache, dizzines, Lowgrade Temperature = Allergy? Posted: 09-11-07 16:45pm
Hey Ya'll! My husband (44 and good general
health) has been having intermittent
headaches(always over his R eye),
occasional light headedness and a low
grade temp for the last 6 weeks. Our GP
did a battery of blood test, all
normal...it did show that he had mono at
one time, but indicated that it should be
resolved. Also did a 24hr. cardiac monitor
which was normal....yesterday he had a MRI
of the brain...normal. While we are SO
glad to rule out some major things...we
still have no diagnosis. HOWEVER, today we
realized that the headaches started when
we got a new pet...an adorable Collie
named Nelly....we have a home office and
the puppy is with him most of the day and
evening...he spent more than usual time
with her yesterday and awoke with the
headache/dizziness...took a sudafed and it
got much better....has anyone ever heard
of having a pet allergy that the major
symptoms were headache/dizziness and only
minor upper respiratory symptoms?

Did you know that we STILL don't know the
cause of headaches? Doctors are baffled!
Hmm ... over the right eye ... does your
husband work on a computer?
Maybe taking breaks and doing eye
exercises would help. 1-2 minutes every
couple of hours might help... but I've not
yet heard of animal allergens causing
headaches.
Any stress in his life?

Headaches are something that a lot of
people deal with, and it has a lot to do
with what we expose ourselves to. I did
research on air quality because I was
having a hard time in my home with a lot
of junk and smells, so I consequently
found that headaches can actually be cause
by bad air. It makes a lot of sense that
your husband has this problem with your
dog being in the office all day. The
problem mostly comes from the fact that
the air in his office probably isn't being
properly replaced with fresh air. Spending
a long time with a pet in the room,
without fresh air coming in, can easily
make for problems.
What I would suggest is getting either a
whole house filter, or simply a
single-room purifier unit for specifically
his office. I actually have a room
purifier in my own room, just because
sometimes a strange smell comes back from
the previous people who lived here. It has
really helped me out, and I found that
being in my room has been easier on my own
system.

I agree with the theory that air quality
and environment influence the quality of
blood circulation in the body. Without
oxygen, we simply shut down. Quick
inhalations and exhalations aka "breath of
fire" does wonders to wake up the system
and refresh the flow of oxygen to the
brain.
