What kind of high blood medicine you are
taking and for how long?
What kind of allergy you are
experiencing?
Do you usually have mild, moderate, or
severe allergic reactions?

I am not a Doctor but just advise so you
don't go through what i went through. If
your given Allegra and Flonase which is
excellent, your Doctor may forget tell you
to watch your BP because it can elevate
it. Unfortunately my BP while on
medication went from 116/60 to 194/104 and
stayed elevated till i ended up in the ER
and was told to stop taking Allergra as
well as Flonase immediately. Now my
allergies are acting up again and i'm
terrified to take anything. So good post
and i also want to know what are good
medications to take with high BP.

Non-steroidal nasal sprays like NasalCrom
(cromolyn sodium) nasal spray, can help
prevent symptoms of allergic rhinitis if
used before symptoms start. It's a
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and
needs to be used more often than the nasal
steroids, three to four times a day.
People with uncontrolled high blood
pressure or serious heart disease
shouldn't take decongestants unless
directed by a doctor.
Allegra D (fexofenadine and
pseudoephedrine) is an example of a
prescription drug that contains both an
antihistamine (fexofenadine) and a
decongestant (pseudoephedrine) and should
be avoid if the patient has hypertension.
