Something is stopping me from playing football?

It's allergies. I started playing football last year{14(+1) years old} and I don't know what to do, I almost ped out during practice and everyone thought it was because the coach forgot to give us a break... I really want to play this year{freshman, did not fail a grade} and my mom says the allergy drugs are really bad for you and can harm so I am really in a difficult position right now.Allergy symptoms: lack of breath{ I feel my lungs shrink{not literally} and I can't breath. I really want to play and not be a person who stays home and can't go for a normal running...
