Exceptional Allergy Care at Hawthorn East Medical Clinic (HEMAC): Meeting the Increasing Challenge of Allergies Through Comprehensive Services
At HEMAC, we understand that allergies are more than just a nuisance – they can significantly impact your quality of life. From hay fever to food allergies, the spectrum of allergic reactions is vast and varied, affecting millions of individuals worldwide.
Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to substances in the environment, known as allergens, that are usually harmless to most people. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, certain foods, insect stings, and medications. When exposed to these triggers, individuals with allergies may experience a range of symptoms, including:
- Respiratory Symptoms: Such as sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
- Skin Reactions: Like hives, eczema, itching, and swelling.
- Digestive Issues: Including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and bloating.
- Anaphylaxis: A severe, life-threatening allergic reaction characterised by difficulty breathing, a drop in blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and loss of consciousness.
Given the diverse nature of allergic reactions and their potential severity, it’s essential to seek expert care for proper diagnosis and management.
