antihistamine

351404 tn?1299489130 Had an eczema with itching outbreak on forehead area and took a Benadryl antihistamine pill. Fine for 24 hours, then took another and that night had a three hour AFib episode. I remember about 20 years ago, I last took an antihistamine and got flutters. Is there a connection between AFib and antihistamine, ie have others an opinion or experience of this?
666921 tn?1254990618 I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it
Avatar n tn What kind were you taking?
Avatar n tn the only thought that i would have is that since you were on them for so long that your heart recoginized the fact that it had to adapt to the way it had changed while it was on the meds and then possibly when you stopped taking them your heart reverted back to what was the norm for you. I wouldn't think that what you were on would mask any symtoms...just that it could change the electrical and the way that your heart fires off.
Avatar f tn My allergist told me to try Claritin tabs instead of gel caps but I took one after having my allergy shot and I broke out in hives again. Now all the pollen is out and my eyes are really itchy and red and I have a hard time seeing at work. I tried taking Atarax last night to see if that would help more than Benadryl. Big mistake since I woke up broke out in bad hives. I had to wait to get home to take benadryl since I am not 100% certain that Benadryl does not give me hives.
Avatar f tn I personally take a claritin everyday. I have seasonal allergies and pet dander makes my eyes and face really itchy. My Dr OKed it and said its totally safe. Hope this helps.
612551 tn?1450022175 I had prior to the vet visit above been given Wilson one half Benedryl 25 mg Antihistamine morning and evening, in the hope it would clear up the paw problem. A couple weeks of this did not produce any improvement. I then checked and saw recommendations to use 1 - 2 mg per pound. As Wilson is j20+ pounds my does level was low. I have decided to continue giving him Benadryl but now one 25 mg capsule morning and night. Hope it keeps his paws and general itch problems under control.
Avatar n tn Your Vet will have the best choices for congestion relief.....You don't state how old your pug is, but the excess fluids can related to many other diseases/ailments.....For example: If you use an antihistamine thinking it's an allergy when indeed it's really a heart problem, the antihistamine can make the heart worse, so you must get a diagnoses before you treat..... Licking air is usually Nausea or acid reflux....Post nasal drip normally causes a cough...
Avatar f tn Our 12 yr.old female ShiTzu, 16 lbs. has a congestive heart condition, and a restricted esophagus. She currently takes 1 Enalapril Maleate, 5 mg., Temaril-P 1/2 tab., 2X daily, and Previcox, 1/2 57mg. pill 2X day for arthritis. Would adding an anti-histamine like chlortrimeton or benedryl help ease her cough and congestion?
1491252 tn?1297450771 t run and sports and exercising are my favorite things to do. i am a very active in school and sports and band, but my asthma used to only act up during band when i carried a bass drum around, and then i tried exercising to help controll it, but it only got worse. After i got my inhaler, i had some kinda of virus, i believe it was called adenovirus and i was put on a Z-pack because i was weasing when i breathed out.
Avatar f tn I have one question and thought I would share my history and current experience with the triple therapy (Incivek, Interferon, and Ribavirin). I have been having rapid heart beat, and when I bend down or walk up a hill or stairs I get light-headed and my heart feels like it's beating fast. I gave these symptoms to my doctor, but he didn't believe that my lab results warranted any action at this time for those symptoms. Has anyone had similar symptoms?
Avatar f tn I have had two separate ablation therapy on my heart now and due to have another in October this year. I occasionally take tylenol pm for poor sleep and backache when I wake. Someone mentioned to me that the antihistamine in these tablets may cause some of the problem?
280234 tn?1532986249 Anyone ever take Vistaril for marked anxiety? I get anxious occasionally, and have tried all of the SSRIs. I can't take them. They make me gain weight & feel like I'm in a bad fog. I suffer from high BP & tachycardia, which I'm on medicine for, and when I get anxious my heart rate and BP go up, and I feel terrible.
Avatar n tn Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine and is used to treat sneezing, runny nose, itching and other allergies. So, as mentioned above it dries out the secretions and hence is not recommended in lung disorders. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn I did the same thing after taking an antihistamine and got all upset and mine went up to 120. As soon as I forced myself to relax and quit checking it slowly went back to normal.
Avatar n tn try clariton oral, nasal crom and allaway(eyes) or just try the clariton and alaway first and if needed add the nasalceom. I have severe allergies to cats and dogs, pollen etc. and it works for me.
648910 tn?1290663083 I think meclizine makes you sleepy enough that you can't see the room spinning very well, thus minimizing the sensation that the stomach is stationary while the rest of one's world rotates. Seriously, it was the first thing they tried for me --- aaarggghhh!!! -- 20 months ago!!! No effect at all, except sleepiness. Next thing they tried was Xanax -- maybe the (substitute on-call) doc was thinking of Valium, but got mixed up? Same effect.
Avatar n tn Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene . Wear lose comfortable clothes. Wash all your linen and towels etc with a disinfectant solution. Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.
Avatar m tn Consider monitoring your blood pressure levels... It is possible for active individuals and athletes to have lower blood pressure and heart rate when at rest...
Avatar f tn They had given me a steroid shot and steroid pills to continue taking for about 8-10 days. Along with a antihistamine. They worked and rash was cleared up. The same rash appeared about 2 weeks later again i went to the doctor and they did the same routine (steroid and antihistamine). Cleared up again. Now 2 weeks later the same rash is back but not as severe. This time there is redness in my face as well.
Avatar m tn The CTA Chest scan shows clear lungs and the heart and pulmonary vasculature is normal. My question to you is: What else can be the problem? Please, I will appreaciate your professional advise or analysis.
