antihistamine and caffeine

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?

Definitely drink more water, because both the antihistamine and tea and coffee will cause dehydration unless more water is drunk to replace the fluids. And, actually, it isn't the caffeine that is so bad about the diet soft drink, it's the artificial chemical sweetener that is so bad. That's a lot like drinking rat poison in small enough amount you might not notice unless you're particularly sensitive to the stuff like I am.

Also cut out Caffeine, and eat plenty of veggies. Water is your friend and chicken bone broth does wonders. If you are a coffee drinker and it's difficult for you to quit then check out chicory root as a substitute. It actually has health benefits which you'll need in dealing with this problem. Probiotic yogurt is also a great addition. Make sure it's plain though. Hope this helps! There's more if you're interested, but this should give you a starting point.

There are some otc meds that can really make us loopy. Make sure you read all the side effects. I know l-tyrosine is recommended for energy often but even that can create anxiety. Also if you are on certain anti-depressants you shouldn't take it. Just google everything before you take it lol.

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

What kind were you taking?

The acid pressure can move into the throat without you realising it and cause pressure in ears and sinuses and sometimes breathlessness and quick pulse. etc. I would suggest seeing your doctor for some anti acid medication, or over the counter, Gaviscon for instance. Avoid, caffeine, alcohol, especially white or sparkling wine, tomatoes, peppermint and chocolate.

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.

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.

I was prescribed foricet but have been taking midol with the tynenol, caffeine, and antihistamine in it. Doctor told me it was safe and its the only thing that worked for me.

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.

That's something you should ask your prescribing physician. Syndol isn't a medication used in the US. I had to search for a while just to find out what was in it. From what I can tell it's simply Tylenol, Caffeine, Codeine and a sedating antihistamine similar to Benadryl. Just by looking at the profile, I'm assuming it's prescribed for tension headaches? If you're trying to conceive, you may want to just try not using it for a while.

When I ran out I was all out of options until I asked my doc if I could take midol. It has tynenol, caffeine, and an antihistamine. I had to take it everyday and it gave me back my sanity literally. I've had 4 ultrasounds and everything is growing and doing fine and normal. Im 38 weeks now and do not get migraines hardly as much but I understand how tough it is. Goodluck.

How can I tell if I'm suffering from sinusitis or migraines since the two present themselves in similar ways with similar symptoms? I've had CT scans for sinusitis and it's shown very little to nothing even though the symptoms I'm experiencing are severe. I'm currently seeing an ent and she says its migraines not sinus. This has been going on for months and months and I'm scheduling an appointment for an MRI of my brain.

I am having the same thing! It is continuous and has been about a month. I don't drink much caffeine, or work on a computer a whole lot. Sleep hasn't helped. Should I be concerned or will it most likely stop on it's own.

Hi- (I am 5'4, 130lb Indian-Asian) for the past year or so, I've noticed a pattern of getting very tired immediately after eating. It doesn't matter if I eat a huge meal, or some fruits. With in 10 minutes, I feel as though I've taken an antihistamine and fatigue flows through my body in pulses almost. I lose all concentration, all focus, my muscles feel tired and this continues until I either take a nap or I drink lots of caffeine.

Some foods irritate the anus when they are expelled during a bowel movement. The most common culprits are caffeine, chocolate, beer, nuts, dairy products, and spicy food. Infections such as pinworms, yeast, and genital warts can cause itching. Hemorrhoids, which cause painful swelling of blood vessels in the anal area, can cause itching. Cancer, in rare instances, may be a cause.' There are certain factors which predispose to the risk of developing anal itching as a symptom.

I have tried aspirin, Tylenol antihistamine etc, and none of that seems to help. I do seem to have the pain more if I drink coffee or have anything with caffeine, you might try to cut down on that and see if ti helps. I am glad you asked the question.

from many of those medications; excedrin contains caffeine, and stopping it will cause significant headaches from caffeine withdrawal; stopping nasal spray will cause a few days of intense nasal congestion, etc. I would consider the the situation to represent an anxiety disorder; perhaps OCD or perhaps behavior related to an 'organic' disorder such as early dementia. She needs help-- a psychiatry appointment would the place to start, if you can get her to go to one.

Hi, I am on 50mg of Zoloft and I can't have caffeine. It is very tricky for me to avoid caffeine being that I'm not sure what has caffeine and what doesn't. Is there a list of common everyday foods and drinks that do not have caffeine in them?

t live without my coffee, went from 3-4 cups a day to one in the morning. And here and there have a soda...as long as they are not the only things you drink all day every day I was told it's not a big deal.
