Can i take one sudafed every night if i have high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be careful: Sudafed and other oral decongestants will raise blood pressure. Other safe alternatives are topical nasal steroids and singulair (montelukast) both of which have decongestant properties. Topical afrin is safe used as directed in the instructions but may cause elevated BP in some individuals.
