Been prescribed flomax for under active bladder. causing severe nasal congestion to the point where i cant breathe and struggle to sleep. what can i take to decongest as antihistamines are alpha antagonists and flomax is an alpha blocker?

Stop Flomax: The side effect you are experiencing is annoying, but but not dangerous. Stop the Flomax and talk to your doctor about an alternative medication.
