Antihistamines (Citirizine) helping asthma?

2 Replies

Does anyone else find Citirizine or other anthistamines help their asthma? I was feeling a bit tight chested, took one, and my tight chest went away??

Also, does anyone else find that sometimes they get a bit tight chested, but the tightness goes away on its own?!

Hi!

Yep i found that out too recently that when i m getting more wheezy n inhaler doesnt work an antihistamine works for me cetrizine does more harm than good (1 hospital says i m allergic to it but other says that crazyness) but loratidine does what i call as magic on me ! It relieves my stuffy nose wheezing rashes watery eyes and stomach ache! Its absolutely brilliant!

My drs said to me on a no of occasions i have allergy but dont know what i m allergic to but other drs said that i dont have allergy but if antibistamis do the trick i m more than happy ?
