I have had year-round allergies for as long as I can remember!. I take Allegra everyday but still I have good days and bad days!. On the really bad days I do experience some drowsiness and overall fatigue!. The way that allergies work is that your immune system thinks that you are sick, so it does all the things that that happen to your body when you have a cold or the flu!. That's why you produce so much mucus and you cough etc!. On the really bad days your body puts so much effort into fighting your "illness" that it takes the majority of your energy; thus making you fatigued!. OTC medications (especially decongestants like Claritin-D) will make you a little drowsy but they really help with the other symptoms!. I suggest investing in some medication and a visit to the doctor for a good prescription!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Personally, I think it is normal!. You're mind is probably too preoccupied on you allergies than what you need to be focused on!. I would probably narrow it down to the nasal congestion that would do it!. Although, I'm no doctor, so if you are worried it's better to be safe than sorry!.
Try mucinex!. The pills are huge and kind of expensive, but they usually clear me up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
