Hello there,
It sounds to me like you are sensitive to caffeine. Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, coca cola and chocolate. Caffeine is a stimulant. It also makes
your heart beat faster. I don't think you have an allergy to caffeine, but
rather what's known as a sensitivity to caffeine. Caffeine stays in your
body and in your system anywhere from 8 -10 hours. If I were you I wouldn't drink anything that contains caffeine at night, especially coffee.
Drinking regular coffee even decaffeinated coffee at night will cause people
who are sensitive to caffeine insomnia. As I stated earlier, caffeine stays
in your body 8-10 hours. So let's say you drink a cup of coffee at 7:00, by
4:00 in the morning, you would still have the caffeine in your system.
Who gave you the idea of taking antihistamins to help with this problem
of caffeine ?  Not a good idea. So, you're not allergic to caffeine , but
you are sensitive to caffeine. I'm sensitive to caffeine too. That's why I
only have one cup of coffee or 1 cup of tea in the morning at breakfast
and that's all I allow myself. I definitely do no drink coffee or tea at night
because if I did I wouldn't sleep as caffeine is a stimulant. Perhaps if
you stop drinking coffee or tea at night, this would solve your problem too.
