        <title>Allergy medicine</title>
        <description> Hello everyone
Had a successful ablation in September.   Having terrible spring allergies- and the post nasal drip and resulting cough are making me miserable and increasing my heart rate.  I’m told nasal spray is the best option for post nasal drip- but reading many concerning things about these triggering afib.  Can anyone tell me a safe spray?  Will regular Claritin help and is that safe? The congestion is so bad it’s raising my heart rate which makes me uncomfortable-but I don’t want to make things worse. Thanks so much.

            <description><![CDATA[ I found that steriod nasal sprays induced palpitations, not surprisingly. There is a different class of nasal sprays which are mast-cell inhibitors  which have a very benign side-effect profile. It is sold under the brand name Nasalcrom.  I use it regularly in the Spring and Summer and have no problems. I also take Zyrtek for very heavy exposure, like cutting grass or hiking in the woods -  it works but I prefer not to take it regularly.<br />
<br />
There is an interesting history of the pharmaceutical industry attempting to recapture Nasalcrom as prescription drug. I don&#039;t know if they are still pursuing it.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Claritin works pretty well for me. As long as there isn&#039;t decongestant I don&#039;t notice heart effects. You may also try eliminating the big food allergens or follow an anti-inflammation diet. This makes a significant difference for me when allergens are high..]]></description>
