I need to get some answers.

I am 60 years old and have had a problem with waking up with my head feeling full and fuzzy, but usually no headache.  There seems to be some pressure behind my eyes as well.  When I get this way, and it is happening more and more, my level of energy and motivation is pretty much zero.  I have seen a migraine physician and have been treated for migraines in the past.  I, also, have taken allergy shots for about two years which has helped the headaches.  

My question is can I have both migraines symptoms and allergy symptoms combined which is why I feel this way 90% of the time?  If so, what should I do to get better.

Hi and welcome to the Migraines & Headaches Community.

Absolutely you can have both at the same time. In fact, I do. I just found out about a month ago that my migraines were worsening due to sinus headaches and my doctor put me on Singulair. (Plus the other dozen meds I already take for migraines.) And this past month has been the best I've had in years!!

Talk to your doctor about both issues and there are daily meds you can take for both sinuses and migraines. You want something you can take daily as a preventative not, JUST as needed, although as needed meds are a good thing to have too. It is a multi-dimensional thing.
