Runny nose products that are high in sodium or contain pseudoephedrine may increase blood pressure and should be used with caution if you have hypertension. This was reported by MedicalXpress.
Cold medications containing pseudoephedrine or sodium for hypertension can raise already high blood pressure to dangerous levels and increase the chance of heart attack and stroke. The fact is that pseudoephedrine reduces nose swelling by constricting blood vessels. This also causes blood pressure to increase. Sodium increases blood volume (due to water entering the vessels), which causes blood pressure to increase. Sodium is a component of table salt; Therefore, hypertensive patients are advised to limit food intake.
Some allergy medications can relieve nasal congestion or runny nose without the side effects of vasoconstrictors. You can also rinse your nasal passages with a saline solution. If symptoms persist, you should consult a doctor.
