My nose is stuffy, my nose is running, my sneezing a bit, my eyes are sometimes watery... And I don't want to go to the doctor for, if it turns out to be, a cold.\nAlso, I have environment allergies in the fall.

The symptoms can be very similar.  Allergic rhinitis (runny nose) is often associated with more sneezing, itchy nose and/or eyes.  Cough is not usually a big part of allergic symptoms.  Runny nose is usually clear.\n\nColds usually do have some cough with them and tend to hurt more with sinus pressure, etc.  Runny nose can be clear or discolored.\n\nOne simple test would be to try a few antihistamines over the counter (claritin and benadryl are examples) - if you are able to take them - to see if they help.  They will usually help allergy symptoms quite a bit, but for colds they do very little.

Signs of a cold coming.

Are you having a winter climate where you live?  If the heat is running and you are not adding humidity into the air, your nasal passages become very dried out.  Try a humidifier and some saline  spray like Ocean.\n\nIf it continues you should see a doctor - could be a polyp or something.

No...colds are strictly a result of the ingesting in some form or fashion, a virus.  You may use the walmart cart after someone else has wiped their snotty hands on it, or the public phone behind someone who sneezed...but, having a wet head is not what makes you sick...It does make you "feel" cold, shivery and miserable to be outside in the cold when you're wet...your nose may even start to drip...but those things should resolved once you're warmed up...just my opinion...hope it helps!

Keep a journal of when and where you experience these symptoms.  That will help enormously.  \n\nThere's always the chance that you are being exposed to an allergen that you weren't tested for.  Seeing that the medications aren't helping either... this theory probably is off-base.\n\nI'm leaning to the following differential diagnoses:\n1.  Dry environment:  Low humidity can cause these symptoms in some people.\n\n2.  Chemical reaction:  Maybe you are being exposed to some chemical.  Floor wax does it to me.\n\n3.  Changes in the barometric pressure:  Some people experience these symptoms with sudden drops in barometric pressure.  Do they occur right before a rain/snowstorm? or on overcast days?\n\nMy guess is the barometric pressure.  Do you suffer headaches/sinus pressure with these symptoms as well?\n\nWARNING:  many people are suggesting natural healers/homeopaths/alternative medicine.  Word to the wise:  most of these things are total quackery.  There is little (if ANY) evidence to support their practice. \n\nKeep the journal and good luck!

Yes, allergies can cause the types of problems that you are describing.  But, like the other poster advised, I would check with my doctor.  I had several of the same symptoms that you are describing along with vertigo and a feeling of pressure in my ear whenever I lay on my side.  It turned out that I had an infection of the eustatius tubes in both my ears.

It may be a nocebo, everyone's nose either clogs or runs after crying, but if you relate it to allergies the nocebo effect kicks in and you THINK you are allergic to something, and thus you "are" :P

Hi there\n\nAllergies are a pain in the butt, I have hayfever and for years the same thing happened to me, major sinus headaches and stuffed nose, sore throat every morning when I got up.  I used to take an antihistime before bed, sometimes it would be too drying and I'd have a nosebleed.  What I finally did was buy an air conditioner because of other health problems and it helped.  But you could try an air cleaner with a hepa filter that's supposed to filter out alot of pollens and dust/dirt that comes in the windows.  Pollens are higher at nighttime and early morning so if you can open your window and cool things off earlier in the day, then shut it and use a fan and air cleaner it might help.  You could get allergy shots too that would help desensitize you from the pollens.

How long have you had these symptoms? It sounds like your body may be fighting some kind of viral infection like influenza. What is also very apparent is that your immune system is working overtime which is why you are experiencing the fatigue, aches, unstable body temperatures, over production of histamine (which may explain the nasal drip). For now, listen to your body: rest and hydrate. MED-LINE, WEB-MD, and the MAYO CLINIC, are excellent web-based resources for self-diagnoses. Remember it always better to have some idea of what's going on with your health prior to consulting a professional.

go see a doctor.  You shouldn't be this miserable.  I use Zyrtec and Flonase (which is now generic) for my allergies.  When the ragweed comes out in about a month I'll also have to add my prescription eye drops, or I'll give myself conjunctivitis.  There's many medications out there for allergies, there's no reason to suffer if the otc stuff isn't working for you.

Do you have Allergy? It can be sinus pressure and can be causing headaches. The reason I'm saying this is because \nI have migraines and been suffering for many years and I \nbeen taking prescription medication, plus I've been seeing\nan allergist for a long time as well. I took a test to see what\nI was allergic too and now I get allergy shots and take allergy\nmedication to prevent congestion built up. But with this weather\nwe still can't help but getting sick. I do go every year to get my\nFlu shot, I make sure of that. So If I were you, I would ask your \nDr. to refer you to an Allergist. Once you get more info from the \nAllergist Dr. you'll start knowing the different between\nmigraine and sinus pressure headache.
