I think my X-mas tree hates me

Hi SC...welcome to the Allergies/Asthma side of the forum :) Yep, you could very well be having an allergic reaction to your tree because allergies can attack with no warning despite prior history or lack thereof. Luckily it's only a week until Christmas so you can try to tough it out until then with the help of otc allergy meds such as Sudafed, Clariten or Zyrtec(this makes you drowsy though). When you get rid of your tree and your symptoms lessen or leave then you will know for sure if it was the tree or not.

There is a non drousy/ non drying sudafed. look for that maybe and try a zyrtec with either
lunch or your dinner in case it makes you sleepy, and yes pine allergies are very common,
can you ask your family maybe to get an artifical tree next year. Sorry about your allergies,
and I'm sorry you have to feel bad for another week....talk about this with your parents...
Hope your feeling better soon...
