Not likely: Regular pollen or food allergies wouldn't normally cause these symptoms. Severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis can drop blood pressure with lightheadedness, syncope, severe blood pressure drop, shortness of breath.

Yes they can: Allergies can interfere with normal nasal and ear function which then causes a problem with a structure known as semicircular canals. These are part of the ear and help tell your brain where your head is located.
