Deviated Septum Septoplasty - Allergy - Lightheaded

Hi Everyone,

If anyone can help me, I would love to hear your comments.  
In Aug 2008 I had a Deviated Septum Septoplasty out of no where in late September I felt really light headed, trouble breathing through my nose, and I felt like I was going to passing out.  The event happen to me 3 times in 3 weeks.  Each time I was hopitalize with pefect for vital signs.  The light headed spells started getting longer by the day to the point where I felt lighted headed all day  & often was concern that I was going to passout and find myself in the hospital  again.

After an MRI Brain Scan, Liver Ultra Sound, & Heart checking out ok I still had these symptoms.  So going nuts I decided to go out of my insurance and see another nose doctor he carefully examed me & came to the conclusion that I have Allergys really bad ones.  He said that one of my inferior turbinate where swell shut do to the fact that I have really bad allergies.   He gave me tons of allergy medice, & finally the light headness went away for the 1st time in 3 weeks due to Allegies.  

Today I requested an Allergy test, and another cat scan of my nose after surgery.

My question to all of you is I feel really drugged up from these 4 nasal medication I was given that I need to take daily, is this my life for the rest of my life when I have allergy taking medice 24/7 or do I have other options for my self.  Please someone help me I feel after this surgery I became that guy that has to call in sick based off Allegies, when for 30 years I was not that guy.

Thanks for reading my story & any advice to my situation is more than welcome.
