im 23 years old female, caucasian, 120 pounds, healthy active and i smoke only 1 cigarrette a day now, I have bad allergies, i have been taking the generic reactin brand for 5 days now every day, on today the fifth day I was at work and around noon I felt tired, then I felt dizzy and felt like I was going to be unconscience, I wouldn't stop shaking I took my BP and it was 155 over 85, I feel weak now but is it my allergy meds that caused me to do this? I have no prior problems with BP ever. if it is my allergy meds should I just stop taking them and i'll go back to normal?

thanks

I've met people allergic to Benadryl (or the generic, which is Diphenhydramine).  You may have developed an allergy to the cigarettes, too.  I know if I get a full whiff of cigarette smoke, I'm sick for days.

My doctor suggested I myself switch to Zyrtec, which is a different medication.  You can also try Allegra, which is also a different medication.

Stay away from Pseudoesphidrine (Sudafed), because it will raise your BP more, which you definitely don't want more of.  It's also the most common decongestant and is not an antihistamine.  

If you're feeling this badly, though, you should see a doctor for evaluation, just to be sure what the problem is.
