I don't know if anyone can "legally" answer my question or not. Is Loratadine known to raise blood pressure at all? I don't usually get headaches and I am currently experiencing probably the most intense one I've ever had in my life. So I checked my blood pressure and it's fairly high. It was about 165/102. My BP is typically average so this is pretty out of whack. The only thing I really did differently today (aside from spend most of the day relaxing!) was to start taking Loratadine (10mg, OTC) again today for my seasonal allergies.

I totally understand if no one can comment on this but appreciate any information you can offer. Thanks in advance.

I'd check with your doctor. Whether or not the med caused your HTN, it should be checked out.
