My head is stuffy and my ears feel plugged. i have controlled high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation. is it safe to take a decongestant and/or antihistamine?

Safety of decongesta: It would be better to apply Vick’s vaporub and take tea with ginger, cloves, black pepper and honey. This is a home remedy not scientifically studied, You can also use ceramic or porcelain netipot. If you still need decongestant, please do so under your doctor’s supervision. Hope you feel better.
