why shouldn't i take antihistimines if i have high blood pressure?

The decongestants that are in a lot of antihistimines, such as phenylephrine, and pseudoephedrine, produce a narrowing of blood vessels. This leads to clearing of nasal congestion, but it may also cause an increase in blood pressure in patients who have high blood pressure.

Hey Nikki, for high blood pressure go to this website:
www.curezone.com/foods/waterpage
I stumbled upon it a few days ago, OMG read it, I can't believe it has cured chronic digestive problems that I've had for years !! Apparently high blood pressure can be cured by properly hydrating your body !!!
PEACE

Because it will increase your blood pressure.

antihistamines increase your blood pressure, so if your BP is already high, it will become higher, which can cause death
