Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, can cause hypotension primarily due to its anticholinergic effects and central nervous system depression. It blocks histamine H1 receptors, which can lead to vasodilation and decreased vascular resistance. Additionally, its sedative properties may impair the body's ability to regulate blood pressure, particularly in older adults or those with pre-existing conditions. These combined effects can result in lower blood pressure.
