Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance. Allergy types that can cause a reaction include the following:

• Airborne allergens, including mold, animal dander, dust mites and pollen
• Certain foods, particularly peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, milk, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish
• Insect stings from insects such as bees or wasps
• Latex or other materials can trigger an allergic skin reaction on contact
• Medications, particularly penicillin or penicillin-based antibiotics

There are many possible allergy symptoms, some of which are similar to those caused by the common cold. These include the following:

• A runny or stuffy nose and sneezing. These can be the result of an infección de las vías respiratorias superiores or allergies.
• Wheezing and shortness of breath. These are common asma traits but can also be symptoms of allergies.
• Coughing. A dry, persistent coughing may indicate allergies.
• Rash. Allergies can cause rashes, such as dermatitis, eczema and hives.
• Fatigue. If you're feeling fatiga or irritability for an unknown reason, it may be a sign of untreated allergies.
• Headaches. There are two types of headaches linked to allergies. A sinus headache is often felt as localized pain occurring over the sinuses. A migraine headache is often experienced as throbbing pain on one side of the head.
• Náuseas o vómitos. These reactions are associated with food allergies.
• Hay fever. Despite the name, you do not need to be exposed to hay to develop symptoms. Hay fever does not cause an elevated temperature.

Fatigue can be a common symptom of allergies. Your body recognizes allergens as something to fight off. This is why your sinuses get blocked, and why you may sneeze and cough. The increased immune response requires energy, which can make you feel more tired.

Another reason allergies can make you tired is that congestion and cough can make it harder to sleep. This can result in more fatigue during the day. People who take prescription or over-the-counter allergy medications may also experience fatigue as a side effect.
