Hi!
I'm having some type of allergies. My throat up behind my nose (I can't really make sense of it) feels like it is a little swollen. If I turn my head, it feels as though it cuts my breathing off, anyway I'm not having any problems exercising and it is for sure not a lung issue. Talking really makes me feel like I can't breathe. Has anyone taken benedryl? I know most cold meds are off limits for people with wacky hearts. I was thinking benedryl might be okay.
Your feedback as always is appreciated!!

As far as I know (benadryl) diphenhydramine is contraindicated in persons with a prolonged qt interval or with long qt syndrome , but in general is a safe medication. I've a similar problem as you speak about my uvula sometime gets swollen . I take piriton(chlorphenamine (sp) )somtimes its spelled slightly differently generic and it helps alot. ask your doctor or local pharmacist , i think both are OTC medicines, at least they are where live. hope you feel better soon.
