Is this allergies or something more? - Allergies Message Board

I've always gotten some tough allergy episodes. I got into sneezing fits, get the itchy red eyes, scratchy throat, feel like crap, etc. This summer I had been fine for the most past but just a few days ago I started to get this pressure in my head. It was more in the front of my head and behind my left eye. Sometimes if I gave my eyes a good rubbing, the pressure would go away for a bit. Yesterday I had a period where I was feeling lethargic and dizzy but eventually it went away...and I had lifted weights about and hour or so prior to that. This morning I woke up with the slight pressure and I got a nose bleed from my right nostril. I was thinking of taking the Allegra I have to try and clear any blockage since it is in the general sinus area but what does everyone else think?

Definitely sounds like sinuses to me. If you keep taking your allergy meds, drink a lot of water and take Tylenol (acetaminophin) and get enough sleep and all of that doesn't make it better.... go to a doctor.

I think with these things, the earlier you catch it the better- don't wait until ten months into a sinus headache like I did and end up needing surgery.

Good luck!

Well if it sounds like a definite sinus problem that makes me feel a little better. Today I have felt pretty tired and slightly woozy/dizzy but it is a lot better when I lay down. My nose isn't stuffy or running at all either. i took an Allegra and will take some Tylenol.
