Does Taking Tedral For A Prolonged Period Cause Headaches And Poor Concentration?

I was prescribe Tedral back in 1981 for an URI. I supposedly had a seizure during that time and was taken to the hospital. I want to know if there is any long term affects from using this medicine? I suffer from frequent headaches since then. I don t why it was prescribe to me. I am just now learning what the medicine was supposed to be prescribed for, but I did not have a history of asthma back then. I was told I was being given Robitussin, Benadryl and Tylenol. It was not until after the supposed seizure was I aware of taking. I was asked by the doctor if I was epileptic. I was not. I was 17 at the time and now 54. I have had trouble concentrating and headaches. Just curious to know if it may have anything to do with it. They doctors are stumped.
