Could it be an allergy?
1 in 3 people are affected by an allergy at some point in their life* and numbers are rising at about 5% a year. Large numbers of people are undiagnosed, often because resources for diagnosis and treatment of allergy are scarce. It is estimated that numbers of those suffering from allergy are rising at about 5% per year. Around 40% of children suffer from one or more allergies, but allergies can also develop later in life and have wide ranging effects on an individual's standard of living.
Ask your pharmacist about allergy screening.
