Hello... Having read your back story you need to check with your GP or cardiologist. Before my bypass antihistamines caused an irregular heartbeat. Let's us know what they say.

Thanks - getting through to the doc is often harder than dealing with adverse effects!Thanks for the heads up though. 🤗

Hi Mark. I am having exactly the same trouble at the moment. Not nice is it? I'm on Statins and other Tablets including Warfarin. I asked the Pharmacist, sometimes better than your Doctor, for side-effects etc. He recommended 'Olbas Oil'. Finding it quite good actually too. Takes the edge off so to speak!

Thanks - what do you do with it?!

Just put two or three drops onto a Tissue and Inhale the Vapours. I've done it twice today already. It doesn't take it away completely but it does give you some relief.
