Can allergies cause a dream-like state (a.k.a. brain fog)???? - Allergies Message Board

Hello everyone, I have had brain fog for the past few months (since October to be exact). I went for a bunch of tests to try to figure out what is wrong with me but all the tests came back with nothing. Finally a doctor recently sent me for allergy tests and as it turns out I am allergic to my cat. I only started petting my cat and playing around with her since around October-ish, so my question is whether or not this allergy can cause me to have brain fog (dream-like state)? I have no other symptoms except that my ears have been blocked. I dunno if this makes any sense. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Nadia.

I don't know the answer to this but I suffer from the same thing. I feel more lightheaded and off balance and just feel weak. My ears also feel clogged at times.

I started using Flonase and these symptoms seem to have lessened a bit. I hope that there are others out there that can reassure us.

hey, yeah I started using Flonase also, its been the second day already. So far nothing but I'll just have to wait and see...also, I'm going back to the ear specialist. Again, I'll just have to wait and see...I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks for the reply.

Yep, your sinuses have become overly sensitive and air is getting up into your sinus cavities causing the brain fog.
