allegra cause high blood pressure hbp

Hello! I started using allegra for the symptoms of hay fever. It was prescribed by my physician. Then I started experiencing headaches and was nauseous. I went to my doc again, they measured my blood pressure and realized it was high. Could it be that allegro caused my blood pressure to go high?

Hi there! I don’t think that allegra caused your high blood pressure but it is quite possible that your blood pressure was already high ant that allegro made it worse. Didn’t you have your blood pressure checked before your doc prescribed this antihistamine for you. It is very well known that allegro shouldn’t be used in people with high blood pressure.

I have been using Allegra for a couple of years, this year my blood pressure has gone up. It seem to start when I started taking two pills aday. I'm going back to one for a test. I work out five days, decaf coffee, no alchohol, almost a vegetarian, don't smoke, and med. thin. It's either allegra or my thyroid meds are off. That's the next test. I just know that all other allergy meds gave me high BP.

My mother who has high blood pressure and is on Micardis, took Allegra (not D but the regular kind) 180 mg once a day for 5 days and experienced headaches, nausea, cold sweats and high blood pressure.

Anyone that has high blood pressure beware.[url][/url]
