Will An Antihistamine Treat High BP?

I am having a dizzy spell -I have a history of Menieres but have not had any spells recently. I took a meclizine strip for nausea/ vomiting but am still dizzy and wonder if I could take an antihistamine too. I also have 2 BP meds I usually take in the am --dyazide and nifedipine. My BP right now is 147/95. Should I take all my mess and should I take an Antihistamine. I have chlorpheniramine and loratadine on hand.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Antihistaminic drugs are useful in allergy or cold. It is not useful in treating high blood pressure. It is also not useful for vomiting. For your blood pressure, you need anti hypertensive medicine. Consult your doctor and set the dosage of your drugs.
