Does Zyrtec Cause Palpitations And Elevated Blood Pressure Levels?
I m an asthmatic with severe respiratory allergies. I m undergoing immunotherapy (5 yrs) as well as using long acting and rescue inhalers. I was also using Zyrtec but would have shortness of breath and pounding heartbeat, especially after eating. My blood pressure as been consistently 120/80 all of my adult life but recently fluctuates.Also some difficulty with recall lately. I am a 53 yr old male. Is it possible the Zyrtec is causing the pounding heart,blood pressure spikes and recall issues? I ve been using it daily for over a year now.
It is not related to Zyrtec. If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated. In that case, a serial ECG is required to rule out possibilities like cardiac arrhythmia.

Take care
Regards,
