Can Antihistamines like Drixoral cause heart palpitations and blurred vision?

Hello,

I have been on Dexilant for GERD and it’s been giving me very bad nasal congestion. I’ve been taking Drixoral nasal congestionant for about 8 weeks now 2-3 times a day for relief. For about a month I have been getting really bad heart palpitations which is totally new to me, had an ECG and an Echo and they came up normal. I’ve also been getting blurred or hazy vision and headaches. Are these all connected to the Drixoral somehow? Have I been overusing it? 

Please help!

    HI  I’ve been on Omeprazole for reflux for a month now and have had a lot of headaches and what I thought  was sinusitis and when I saw your post it made me look at the side effects  2 of which  are headaches and congestion so possibly your meds for GERD are doing the same. Cure one thing only to get another!! 

    Regards
