Bad allergies x 3 days. i take allegra, and benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night. i am very congested and can't sleep. is there a decongestant okay to take with high bp?

No: It is not a good idea to take decongestant when you have hypertension. Consider an otc nasal steroid to see if it helps (may take a few days). If not, see your doctor or an allergist.
