When I went to the emergency room with a hypertensive crisis, they gave me loratidine. Which makes me wonder if the faster-acting benzodiazepines might not be just as effective as nifedipine at bringing blood pressure down. A friend of mine who presented with exceedingly high blood pressure after binge drinking was also given benzos to bring his bp down.
