These medications: are usually quite effective for straight-forward allergies/allergic rhinitis. Especially with your up--right posture symptoms, you need to make sure you don't have any mechanical obstructive issues like nasal polyps. It is not unusual to develop growths in the nose in people with allergies. They are difficult to see/diagnose without special instruments, so I would see an ENT specialist. Good luck

See physician: A 51 year old male with allergy symptoms taking cetirizine, benadryl, (diphenhydramine) and loratadine without improvement. See an allergist to determine what you are allergic to and also to determine if there is something else going on, like a sinus infection. Add a nasal steroid spray (OTC Flonase or Nasacort) twice a day as well.
