Whenever my allergies are acting up i get sinus pressure, no stuffiness, or runny nose, just pressure, and my ears feel like they are full like something is pushing against them, and i cannot pop them. Also i get very tired like i can't keep my eyes open sometimes. Is this normal?

" Yes, this is normal; I used to get sinus infections so bad when I was a teenager & before I was diagnosed with allergies that I would actually be semi-conscious until the sinuses were drained. That was very painful. Thank God we have drugs that work now. If you tried the sudaphed & it made you drowsy, buy the children's liquid & take the dosage recommended for a child. That's what I used to use, but now I take a generic equavalent for Claritin; I had to cut the tablets in half in the beginning in order to function, until my body built up a tolerance for it. I took 2 shots a week for over 30 years; a real pain & very expensive. The Claritin substitute works just as well as the shots did. "
