Are allergies an indication of immune compromising virus presence in the body?

Can allergies make one dizzy constantly with discomfort in swallowing and popping ears?

Answers:
It's Possible but many people are born with them or develop them from external sources ie:pollution, toxic waste etc. If you suspect you have allergies you need to see a Dr and get tested.

Yes. It's been known for a long time that several chronic diseases like late onset Diabetes,Hansens Disease,(leprosy),Rheumatic Heart Disease,(from streptococcus infections),Arthritis,Milk Allergies etc are the result from such chronic low level infections,that will set up a immune response,that will result in the body turning on itself.Late onset Diabetes will result when the islet cells of the pancreas stop making insulin. This is a very involved and in-depth mechanism, it would take pages to answer your question properly,there is lots of info at Google & other sites.Take care. SW RNP
