Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Xyzal is a anti-histamines that does not increase blood pressure, so probably this is not the cause, yes, your primary allergy ( any stress )or your anxiety , could have increased it. This BP is anyhow not alarmingly high, I would advise your should continue your BP medicine, and keep checking your BP, BP should not be dropped quickly, it should come slowly in few days. So do not worry , keep it checking , and keep in touch with your doc, he would adjust drugs to control your BP.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Rahman
