Allergy: You can try to take a shower before going to bed. Also nasal saline rinses can be of some help. Now if there is no relief your last resource would be benadryl (diphenhydramine).

See allergist: Loratadine only helps runny nose and sneezing somewhat and does not decongest the nose. Certainly it does nothing for asthma. You need to consult an allergist who can guide you on allergen avoidance and institute the appropriate treatments for your illnesses. In the meanwhile, try exercising regularly 3-4 hr per week (include light weight training) and a healthier diet to lose some weight.
