Hi Norma,

 

Yes, allergies can definitely make you feel tired, especially when other symptoms keep you from getting a good night's sleep! Your body is working hard to combat the allergies and that is tiring. You should start to feel better when your symptoms get back under control, either because of medication or when the pollen count goes down to lower levels.

 

Good luck!
