Every morning when I wake up, I can't stop sneezing. It's like a nonstop sneeze-fest. On top of that, I've noticed that my dark circles under my eyes are getting worse each day. I'm curious if there's any connection between these two things. What's causing this?

The sneezing could be due to allergic rhinitis, and the dark circles could be a result of nasal congestion causing poor sleep quality. For the sneezing, you can try taking an antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) once daily in the morning to help with allergies. To address the dark circles, you can try using an over-the-counter decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help with nasal congestion and improve sleep quality. Make sure to also maintain good sleep hygiene and consider using a humidifier in your bedroom to help with any nasal congestion.

I'm really worried because I've been smoking weed daily for the past 3 years, and now I've developed some kind of skin allergy. The doctors ran a blood test, and the results showed my serum IgE level was at 6000, which sounds really bad. I've stopped smoking, but I'm nervous about what to do next, and I don't want my parents to find out about all this. How can I lower my serum IgE levels, and do you have any advice on passing allergy tests?

I'm having this recurring issue where every time I sleep, whether it's night or just an afternoon nap, I wake up and immediately start sneezing. This sneezing goes on for about 12 hours, and sometimes it even turns into a full-blown cold that lasts for a day. I'm curious and a bit worriedwhy does this keep happening? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

The recurring pattern of waking up with sneezing and catching a cold, lasting 1-2 hours or sometimes a whole day, may be due to allergies, dust mites, or mold exposure while sleeping; consider using allergen-proof bedding, washing pillows and blankets regularly, and keeping your sleeping environment clean and dry to reduce allergen accumulation; also, try using a humidifier or saline nasal spray to help moisturize your nasal passages and alleviate congestion.
