Histamine reaction as a potential cause of ventricular arrythmia

[kalenik]

Could stopping zyrtec about 4 mos ago and starting omeprazole about 3mos ago cause ventricular arrythmia eg bigeminy?
Could a histamine reaction cause this type of arrythmia?

I'd be interested to know what input you get about this. I have been having what seem to be allergy episodes -- nasal congestion, watery eyes, clear mucous -- for a day or 2, then it's gone.  I don't use decongestants as I have a history of Afib, pac's & pat.  My first episode, I woke up with Afib and ending up needing to be electro-converted.  I am abut ready to see an allergist, as I can't identify a trigger.  Is the omeprazole a proton pump inhibitor for reflux?  My doctor says the vegus nerve is close to the heart and when it is irritated as with indigestion, it can bring on an arrythmia.  He thinks my prevacid keeps it quiet and helps with the irregular beats.  Hope this is helpful.  I haven't used Zyrtec, don't know if it's one that is not supposed to cause a rapid heart rate.  I took Allegra that was not supposed to affect my heart, but I firmly believe my first Afib episode was at least partially due to the Allegra, even though it wasn't Allegra-D.
