Can I say I have nasal allergies? Symptoms are running nose and sneeze.
Does it used in spoken language?

"Nasal allergies" doesn't work for me. You have allergies which affect your nasal passages.

Hmm, maybe this is another regional difference? It's fine in AmE, and multiple reputable medical websites even use the term.

It might well be used in medical terminology but, as a layperson, the first thing I thought of when I saw it was "You're allergic to noses?!"

My allergist – Anna Phylaxis – calls my hay fever seasonal rhinitis.

The common American term for allergic rhinitis is hay fever, even though it's only marginally connected to hay (because allergic people are likely to sneeze when they're around it) and doesn't have fever as a symptom.
