Not those medication: Blood pressure can fluctuate slightly and ongoing measurements are necessary to detect trends. Benadryl, (diphenhydramine) Astepro and most eye drops should not affect (elevate) blood pressure. Decongestants can worsen hypertension in a person who has uncontrolled blood pressure.

Blood pressure: The BP is fine, the meds might affect it a bit.
