I really wish I had good news but some of you might have seen my last post that I was doing vitamins and probiotic gummies two a day to see if healing my gut would help and I did this for a month and I did not take Zyrtec for like 17 days but then on day 18 I got high blood pressure really bad had to spend the night in the hospital I don't normally have HBP not for like a year and a half not on any meds for HBP so it was really scary it was 198/101 they did every CT scan MRI EKG echo cardiogram blood work you can think of and I was told that they didn't know why this happened but I'm wondering if it had to do with me not taking Zyrtec considering the fact that I have been taking it for three and a half years and then all of a sudden stopping it. wondering if my body went into shock or something but the hospital said that that was impossible because Zyrtec has zero effects on blood pressure but Idk. I have had these damn hives for years like I said so idk. I'm back on Zyrtec again and my BP is up and down but not high like that 1 day. Wondering if BP will return completely normal once Zyrtec has been in my system for a few days. Has anyone else experienced this?

I want to share this with all of you hoping it might help someone else ! I have had hives chronic urticaria for 3 and a half years. I've seen every allergist primary care physician internal medicine doctor and dermatologist. I was told that it will just eventually go away sometimes it can take 6 months sometimes it can take 7 years. well I have not had to take my Zyrtec in 14 days I decided to take probiotics and vitamins together to help clear my gut I can't believe how much of a difference it has made. I have been taking it for a month and have been off Zyrtec for 2 weeks I get like one hive on my arm or one on my leg but they go away without antihistamines. again, I'm only taking probiotics and vitamins. I truly feel that that's what has made my hives disappear !!!
