When the immune system responds to a foreign substance in an abnormal way, it is classified as an allergy. When the body first contacts the substance, it will not cause any reactions, but the immune system will start to produce antibodies to it and subsequent contact will trigger more dramatic responses.

Long story short I'm allergic to a bunch of different things but usually I don't take medication daily I just take zyrtec whenever I start to feel bad. Well this morning I woke up and because of post nasal drip I had a lot of think mucus in the back of my throat. When I would breathe in I felt and heard a whistle in my throat not in my lungs. I drank some hot tea and it loosened it up and I haven't had it since. However I went to go to the store to get medicine and going outside aggravated my allergies to the point I didn't want to stand in line but luckily I was able to suck it up and get the medicine I needed. Well I took zyrtec and I was feeling a little bit better but then I started getting short of breathe so after freaking out I took albuterol to open my airways. I passed out for a little but I feel much better now. I also smoke. I just went to the doctor last week and they advised me that my lungs are clear so I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem. I think my airways just became tight because my allergies were going crazy.
