What is the Real Impact?

While many nasal allergy sufferers experience symptoms such as itchy, runny nose, sneezing and nasal congestion, the real impact can also be seen on their sleep, productivity at work and even their relationships.

A 2013 online survey of 2,000 U.S. adults over 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with nasal allergies revealed the following:¹

Sleep:

59% of respondents reported experiencing sleep issues due to their
nasal allergy symptoms
48% said that their nasal allergy symptoms also interrupted their
partner’s sleep

Treatment:

69% of respondents use two or more medications to treat their nasal allergies
Only 31% treat their nasal allergies proactively before symptoms appear

Relationships/Productivity:

65% of participants said that they were tired and irritable with their
partner/spouse due to their nasal allergies
61% said that they can’t enjoy the outdoors with their children as much
as they would like because of their nasal allergy symptoms
More than half of respondents (57%) said they experienced difficulty
concentrating at work and school due to their nasal allergy symptoms

Medical Triggers:

Of those respondents who consulted a doctor/nurse about their nasal allergy symptoms, 80% initiated the conversation

their nasal allergy triggers
