What Causes Excessive Sleepiness And Breathing Difficulty While On Zyrtec?

My 92-year old, otherwise healthy, mother just called with what she thinks is a reaction to Zyrtec-sleeplessness, coughing, difficulty breathing. Is there something she can do to counteract the effects of having taken this medication for over a week? She took the last dose this morning at 11am. Thank you. YYYY@YYYY
