I live in Austin,TX and the mold and cedar pollen are high does anyone know if it can make you tired .?

Since I have moved here which has been about 10months I have been exhausted and wasn't sure if it could be something in the air (allergies,pollen, mold cedar trees)

When your body reacts to allergens it produces it's own antihistamines which cause your mucous membranes to swell and excrete mucous so no more of the allergen can enter, itchy eyes, and most often, fatigue. Just like if you were to take diphenhydramine(Benadryl), you are going to get sleepy. Your body's metabolism wants to slow down so less of the allergens get into your system. Zyrtec is awesome, and now over the counter. Be sure to ask your doctor, and or the pharmacist first, in case any other meds you may be taking might interact negatively, or you have any other pre-existing conditions where you can't take antihistamines. Remember that as far as the pollen count goes, it's highest in the morning and late afternoon/evening. Close your windows, car ones included, use recirculating in your car, and try to stay indoors during those hours. Oh yeah, the generic for Zyrtec is cetirizine, and works just as well.
Reply:It can. If you have any other symtomes then try to take some benadrill. It's just a symtome of a small allergic reaction.





Hope this helped


Sparkle and Shine!!!!!
