Q: can you take a nasal spray decongestant with nyquil?

: A nasal spray like Afrin and Nyquil together could potentially ramp up your sympathetic nervous system. In other words, blood pressure and heart rate can increase. Try to use the drug with the least amount of ingredients that target the worse symptoms, such as Afrin for runny nose or nasal congestion. (Nyquil often is a combination of 3 drugs).
