Brief Answer:
No this is not related to side effect of Allegra.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Allegra is having fexofenadine. It is non sedative antihistamine drug.
It is very safe drug with minimal side effects.
And these symptoms are not side effect of fexofenadine.
So I don't think all his symptoms are due to Allegra.
There is something else which is causing these symptoms.
Better to consult doctor and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. Blood reports.
If all these are normal then stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms.
So consult doctor and discuss all these.
Possibility of side effects from Allegra is very low.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your friend. Thanks.
