allergy medication side effects?

Are there any allergy medications that are over the counter that don't cause low blood pressure and irregular heart beat? I can't take herbal remedies I am allergic to some herbs.

Update:

It also has to be compatible with lexapro and advil.

Update 2:

my bloodpressure usually sits pretty low so I don't want to drop it any lower and I do mitral regurgitation hence why I ask about the irregular heart beat. I am making an appt to see an allergist to see what my problem is but until then I was hoping I could take something to help. Thanks in advance for all your answers.

    Check with your doctor's office and ask them this question. Generally allergy meds cause high blood pressure and can definitely aggravate irregular heartbeat tendencies. I've recently had to again start taking Tenormin after years off of it to deal with an extremely bothersome irregular heartbeat but must also take allergy meds on a daily basis. I don't know of any allergy meds that might be something you can take without side effects - sorry.
