A member asked:

What antihistimane can i take that wont elevate my pulse or raise blood pressure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most: Generally speaking, antihistamines in the recommended doses don't affect your blood pressure or pulse. Decongestants such as phenelephrine (pe) do. The confusion is that many cold medicines contain both an antihistamine and decongestant.
