A member asked:

I have post partum hyperthyroiditis. my pulse rate is 60, blood pressure 90/69. i'm very stuffy from allergies m. can i take a half dose of sudafed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

? antihistamines: BP and pulse given are not too bad. Allergies often respond to over the counter antihistamines. They may make you drowsy and your mouth a little dry, Why take any risk of kicking up symptoms from thyroiditis with a decongestant if you don't have to?

I find that if I take pseudoephedrine once a day before bedtime, I sleep better and wake up feeling more rested. I have no side effects I am aware of. Is this safe to do long term. I do not have any health problems and normal blood pressure. I am 56.
