Teehee sorry for late reply. Ive been feeling much better since the weather has been cooler so ive been taking advantage of my health and going out. 😛 im not on zyrtec. I do go on claritin during the summer for seasonal allergies when i feel stuffy. I did notice i felt slightly better. Ive been on zantac 150mg 1 a night now for a good 3 weeks and its helped me not wake up ill in the morning. 😀 which is great i get up just fine and have my breakfast without feeling gross. Ive had feeling of pressure in my head yup. Not in a while though. Before i started atenolol, when i would stand up i’d get horrible pressure in the front of my head so id have to pop my jaw to make it go away. I had no idea it had to relate to dySautonomia! Thats pretty cool. I love learning new things about what the body does. Diamox? I go to the doctor in two days and i will mention to her this. I will do the symptom checklist as soon as i can. Thank you so much. 😀 you are a great mentor and doctor!

Hi Nompancakes, TMJ or jaw bone malalignment has been shown to potentially increase intracranial pressure. Have you ever tried wearing a mouthpiece at night time? HUGE help for me… Zyrtec has an added mechanism for us, besides being an antihistamine and is worth trying, IMHO. 🙂 I’m curious if you got to try Diamox? Hang in! 🙂 Diana
