PLEASE READ:
I’m pretty sure each year around springtime; I’ve had a runny nose and heavy-feeling eyes. My grandmother thinks its allergies, but my mom thinks I’ve just been unlucky with the common cold in spring (changing of temperatures could have a lot to do with it). I’m not sure though, I mean, I have a runny nose but it’s not like when I have a cold. It’s a lot more tolerable and manageable. However, I do feel tired and exhausted each day like my brain is overworking and not making a lot of sense.

I work for an alergist. And yes it is possible. You can get tested pretty easliy to find out exactly what's causing your problems.

it definatly sounds like allergies to me... if you have insurance or enough money to go to an allergist to have the full battery of tests, that is great... that way you *might* find out what you are allergic to. their tests test for the things that are most commonly found to be allergies for most people... the reason i say that is personally i have allergies that dont show up on tests but they are rare... try finding someone else who is allergic to fd&c blue no. 2 (its a food coloring)... anyway, if you dont have the insurance or the money, there is no real problem with buying some benedryl or claritin or such over the counter to see if it makes you feel better... admittedly, you wont know WHAT you are allergic to, but if it wont cause you severe reactions, you dont actually NEED to know... and dont just try one medication... some meds work for some people, they dont work on others... personally claritin does nothing for me... benedryl works some but my main allergy med is singulair. either way though - cold or allergies - taking a decongestant can really help... if you arent getting enough oxygen (from stuffiness ect) or are in an uncomfortable state because of the sinus pressure, both will make you tired and lacking energy

It's most likely seasonal allergies: Spring is a bad time for pollen for instance. And yes, allergies can make you feel tired and foggy-brained.
Try drinking extra water. And if you can, get an air cleaner for your room, and dust and vacuum a lot during allergy season. You may find your symptoms aren't as severe.
Good luck!
