What can i take for nasal congestion and cough when taking meds for heart disease i caught a col and do not know what i am safe to take

Please : Please provide a list of the medications you are taking. Also you can call your doctor or ask your pharmacist what is safe to take for the symptoms you are having since they know all the medications you are on. This may be faster than waiting for a doctor here on avvo to respond. In the meantime over the counter nasal saline drops can help with your congestion. I hope you are better soon.

Coricidin: It's an over-the-counter cold ; flu symptom- relief medication that does not contain decongestant. Decongestant is found in other cold ; flu remedies, and it can cause blood pressure to go high which may cause more pressure on the heart. Hope it helps!
