dizzytizzy Posted July 23, 2018 Report Posted July 23, 2018 My EP suspects I may have histamine issues. While waiting to get an appointment with allergy/immunology, he has me trialing 10 mg of Zyrtec nightly at bedtime. I'm about 4-5 days into this and actually feel like my allergy symptoms have increased. More congestion, itchy throat, mucus, etc. Anyone have an idea why this may be or had this happen? I plan on contacting the EP tomorrow to say, "Hey, would you believe...." Never textbook! Quote
StayAtHomeMom Posted July 23, 2018 Report Posted July 23, 2018 It could be because it is opening your sinus passages, it is causing drainage. I would see if he would be OK with you adding the "D" to help dry you out while it kicks in. Quote
Weary Posted July 23, 2018 Report Posted July 23, 2018 i'd be curious to know what ,if anything, it does to your blood pressure. i seem to get weird reactions to H1 blockers (meclizine and hydroxizine). Quote
dizzytizzy Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Posted July 24, 2018 @Weary: I haven't noticed any change in BP while on them. Quote
StayAtHomeMom Posted July 24, 2018 Report Posted July 24, 2018 Anything better with your congestion issues? Or did you stop taking it? Quote
