Whether you deal with migraines, seasonal allergies, food sensitivities, or similarly recurrent issues, symptom tracker apps can be handy for keeping all the relevant health information in one space. Use them to avoid known triggers or identify other potential causes of health issues. Here's a roundup of some top apps to predict and manage upcoming symptoms, as well as pinpoint potential triggers.

1. Migraine Buddy: Track Headache

Migraine Buddy is a detailed app packed with features that make it easier to predict and manage upcoming headaches. Track migraine attacks and try to identify your own triggers with this immensely popular app. Gain more insights into your migraines and their patterns, as well as what kinds of relief help the most. When setting up the app, you can decide what you want to focus on: finding triggers and relief, understanding migraines, or communicating with a doctor.

To record a migraine, note the start and end times as well as the attack types. There are many options to choose from, including migraine, tension-type headache, cluster headache, postdrome, or prodrome. Include the pain level, where you were when the headache started, and any additional symptoms.

The lengthy list of potential triggers includes stress, sleep issues, anxiety, and even weather variations. The app invites you to consider many causes, whether it's a food allergy or dehydration. Potential relief methods you can try (and note in the app) include resting in a dark room, trying meditation, or taking a shower. Lastly, make a note of how the headache impacted your activities, resulting in issues at work or home.

2. WeatherWell: Health Forecast

Track how the weather might affect your health with this app. The weather may influence issues such as headaches, joint issues, or allergies, and this app can help you recognize and prepare for symptoms before they develop.

3. My Pollen Forecast - Allergies

View areas with high pollen counts on a map, get two-day pollen forecasts, and track allergy symptoms in a diary with this allergy-specific app.

You can use location services to view the pollen count for your particular area, or view other locations on the map. At this time the app supports areas throughout the contiguous United States and the United Kingdom. It's interesting to explore the map and see how different allergens affect various parts of the world.

A diary feature helps pinpoint which potential allergens seem to cause you the most trouble, whether they are grasses, nettles, ragweed, or something else entirely.

4. Plume Labs: Air Quality App

Get pollution maps for major urban areas to learn more about air quality and how it impacts your health with the Plume Labs app. The Plume Air Quality Index (AQI) denotes the pollution level in your area, with higher numbers indicating greater pollution. A low AQI that's under 20 indicates a clear day to enjoy the outdoors, while a very high level of around 125 can have negative health effects on at-risk individuals (and on everyone else if exposed for too long).

The granular map in the Plume Labs app provides detailed air quality reports for your exact location, down to the street name. There's also a chart that predicts what the air quality will be for each hour of the day. You can review the reports from past days and see the best and worst days of the year for your area along with an annual average.

Specific categories also focus on whether it's safe for sensitive persons (including babies) to stay outdoors for very long. There's also an option to receive air quality notifications for your city. The Air Pollution Map provides AQI levels for 107 cities around the world.

To learn more about this, explore other apps and websites for checking air quality. Consider investing in an indoor air quality monitor if these pollution levels affect your well-being. For simply monitoring the air pollution levels in your area, however, the Plume Labs app offers an incredible amount of data.

5. Food Intolerances

The Food Intolerances app offers comprehensive information for those with food restrictions, allergies, or other digestive issues. With its comprehensive list of over 1,000 foods, the Food Intolerances app can help manage allergies and sensitivities anywhere. People on a low FODMAP diet, as well as those with histamine and gluten intolerance concerns, may find the Food Intolerances app particularly useful.

Start by selecting your displayed sensitivities from a list that includes carbohydrates like fructose and lactose, specific allergies, and profiles for foods such as nightshades, tree nuts, and soy. For each selection, indicate whether your sensitivity to the food is weak, moderate, or strong.

On the free version of the app for iOS, some selections are not available, including listings for Tyramine and seafood. You can access all of them by purchasing the full version of the app.

Once the selections are complete, the All Foods section will highlight foods that are generally fine for you to eat in green. Meanwhile, those that may cause an issue will appear in red. Purchase the full version of the app to learn more about the specific ingredients that may cause digestive troubles.
