Antihistamines are a known trigger for people prone to supraventricular tachycardia.  All my life, I was unable to take allergy drugs because of this reason.  I would check with your physician, and pharmacist because I think there now may be compounds available with give the desired effect without the side effects.   You could also address the tachycardia issue and eliminate that which would allow you to take any antihistamines with experiencing the side effects.
