Do I Have An Allergy?
Visit our Self-Help HubIf you’re experiencing symptoms and wondering whether they could be caused by an allergy, it can often feel confusing and difficult to know where to start. Allergies can affect people in different ways, with symptoms ranging from mild irritation to more serious reactions that require urgent medical attention.
This section of the Self-Help Hub is designed to guide you through the process of understanding your symptoms and exploring whether an allergy might be the cause. It will help you recognise common signs, identify possible triggers, and understand what steps to take next, whether that’s managing symptoms yourself or seeking advice from a healthcare professional.
By building a clearer picture of when and how your symptoms occur, you can take the first steps towards getting the right support, diagnosis and treatment, helping you feel more confident and in control of your health.
Allergy Symptoms Checker
This tool can help you check if your symptoms could be linked to allergy. It can be shared with your GP to support your appointment. This is not intended as a self-diagnosis tool. If you suspect allergy, always consult a healthcare professional.
Food and Symptoms Diary
If you are frequently experiencing unexplained symptoms after meals it might be more than just a passing discomfort. Unidentified food allergies can trigger various reactions, ranging from mild discomfort to severe health issues. Understanding what you eat and how your body reacts is key to uncovering potential food allergies. That’s where maintaining a food symptoms diary becomes invaluable.
House Dust Mite Toolkit
Use our questionnaire to explore whether your symptoms could be linked to an indoor allergen such as house dust mite allergy. Once completed, you’ll receive a downloadable copy of your results to take to your GP, asthma nurse or practice nurse. These results can be used to support a constructive conversation about getting an accurate diagnosis for your symptoms, prescribing any treatment or providing an action plan or referral to a specialist.
Chronic Hand Eczema Toolkit
If you’re living with hand eczema now, or have had it in the past, our short questionnaire below can help show how much it is affecting your life – including things like sleep, work, and daily activities.
