Suggest Treatment For Pressure In Chest,dizziness And Congestion

I have pressure in my chest, feel slightly dizzy and have congestion. Periodically the pressure from my chest goes to my stomach and feels as though it is a build up of gas. I have been to my doctor and he says I have severe allergies and recommends I take Zyrtec, benedryl, Flonase and Advil as needed to help. It works periodically but I don t know if this is accurate or effective treatment. I would appreciate your thoughts?
