    Allergies are the worst they have ever been in years here in the U.S.....not sure where u are but maybe for you too. It probably is allergies. Get a good antihistamine...maybe a perscription one and thank God they were wrong about the COPD. IF you really think you get worse go back and demand more testing. Let us know!! Ladyjack51
