Can i take claritin d for nasal congestion while on a beta blocker for pots syndrome or is that contraindicated?

Not a good choice: I would not advise using a nasal decongestant while taking a beta blocker since the net result of the interaction or counter-reaction cannot be predicted. A nasal steroid will likely work far better than Clartin D without the potential side effects.
