Hi, I am experiencing those symptoms now, as I have for years. Every
spring and fall I have a session of lightheadness which I have connected
to the allergy season. Occasionally I have such dizzy spells, I have to
stay put with my eyes closed until it passes. I find that decongestants do
help. I think the problems stems from the pressure on the inner ear caused
by the inflammation from the allergy. One doctor even thought I had
meniere's disease and put me on medication for that. Thru my own experiendes
I have found the best way to handle this. Take my allergy meds as directed
and add a decongestant that agrees with other meds when I
experience the lightheadedness...

Good luck. Ask your Doctor about decongestants,there are warnings associated with the use of them, particularly with heart, blood pressure or thyroid issues. I try to take the lowest dose, and if that doesn't do the job, I will take another one.

Thank you so much for responding. It makes me feel better that there is someone who knows what I am talking about even if my dr doesn't agree. I see an allergist on the 6 th so hopefully I can get some answers.
