What I feel? Pain behind my right ear, congestion like a pipe has burst inside my head and is constantly leaking. Usually a hyper person, I slug and drag myself throughout the day even although the symptoms subside as the day move along. My symptoms get worst when I put my head on the pillow and I usually wake up feeling much worst. I feel like drowning and sometimes I get asthma attacks.

As my symptoms get worst at night, I have blamed pillows, bed sheets, rugs, mold in the house, even allergy to spouse’s clothes. This puzzle has followed me for decades but now with the awareness of COVID-19 I realized that I may be the one triggering my own allergies at night.

I was feeling fine last night until I started to stretch and doing a head inversion which my faced got covered by my hair. Immediately I started to have an allergy reaction. Knowing that COVID-19 sticks to the hair made me realize that pollen and other allergens may also stick to my hair and trigger my allergies making me feel worst at night.

Could it be possible?

Update on 2024/02/14: I have since been sleeping with silk hair caps and my allergies have greaten disminished! Who knew?
