Seasonal allergies



Recommended Posts

Hey y’all! I’m 3 mo the post-op VSG. I suffer from allergies but never took anything for fear of interaction with my other medicine and also because I have high blood pressure. My surgeons office said to take stuff without nsaids. What are your go to allergy medication ( oTC or prescription) do y’all take post op and with high blood pressure? I dont have the typical itch eyes or sneezing. Just pain in my face and in my sinus above my eyes. Been taking Tylenol but may need to look into allergy meds. TIA

I think Zyrtec and Benadryl are safe for hypertension. For the symptoms that you're describing, I think that Zyrtec would be a better fit.

I use Allertec from costco. It is generic Zyrtec.

Sounds like you have what's going around where I live. A virus that causes a sinus infection. I'm at the tail end of it and the only thing that worked is this stuff.1708933999_mucinexsinus.jpg.2be2e60e836df11128cfd71560a7eb1d.jpg

Do NOT take Benedryl - it raises BP significantly. There are medicines specifically for people with high BP. I take Coricidin (I think that’s how it’s spelled). It works better than anything g I took before high BP. I’ve been really pleased with it.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
