Hi Sue. I suspect it is the cat also. I have been taking antihistamines which seem to be working, but I do not want that to be my permanent solution. I also put a hepa free standing air purifier in my bedroom and I think that has been helping. So, you are having the shortness of breath too? Me too, more than usual. I think mine is due to the high humidity here. I can't wait for that to go away.

HI Terri - Can you put a HEPA filter on your heating & ventilation system & keep it running full-time? We had one installed 2 years ago wit our new furnace & AC & I can't begin to tell you how much it has helped me. And my husband faithfully replaces the filters so I don't have to handle them.
Yes, I have more SOB now due to pollen - sadly a lot of my walking & gardening has been curtailed because even with a mask, being outdoors makes me itch. Actually hoping for frost very soon, as is my brother, so we can have a safe outdoor family gathering before winter. We have only seen our (not socially distant) siblings in drive-by mode since last winter.
FYI - when we saw an allergist for my daughter 30 years ago, her very first question was whether there was or ever had been a cat in our home.
