Asthma/Allergies

Has anyone with asthma and severe allergies noticed that they worsen with hep c?
I am having more issues with this, just wondering if this is common.

Thank you!

Fortunately I didn't suffer from any major allergies.  I know of many who have whilst on treatment and took antihistamines to help with this.  I did however, have a slight rash that at times, would flare up but it went as quickly as it came.  Strange stuff this treatment.
I wish you all the best
take care

My allergies got much worse during tx.  Don't think it has anything to do with Hep. C, but with the treatment for Hep. C.  Took Claratin and Benedral for the allergies.  Never had Asthma.
