Fact Check: The "Antacid & Antihistamine" Trend

Have you seen the "Histamine Hack" trending on social media?

There’s a viral theory floating around that taking heartburn meds and antihistamines can "cure" menopause anxiety and mood swings by blocking histamine.

While it’s true that estrogen and histamine seem to be linked, doctors are weighing in this week with a reality check: these medications are being used off-label and aren't a validated treatment for menopause.

Before you raid your medicine cabinet for a DIY hormone fix, talk to your provider about evidence-based options like HRT or lifestyle adjustments that actually target the root cause.
