11/01 Does anyone have any experience with nasal decongestants causing
an increase in blood pressure? Has this happened to anyone here?
\_ That's very common, and you're often warned not to take the stuff
when you've got blood pressure problems.
\_ They can interfere with oral contraceptives. Found that one out
the fun way....
\_ really? you got a kid because of a nasal decongestant?
\_ My coworker's having the same issue right now from Benedryl.
\_ What's going on with him, specifically? -a scared op
\_ She has a separate major health issue right now, so her
health is being monitored constantly. Since she started
taking Bendryl again for allergy, her blood pressure has
gone through the roof. She's currently taking a prescription
drug to lower it. For her case, it's most likely because
she's taking Benedryl with all her other medicines for her
health issue that's triggering it. |
