Answer 1/3 - Submitted 9/28/2009
A simple nasal decongestant should be fine. The only drugs you want to worry about with blood pressure medications are those that affect blood pressure, or can cause liver damage. Typical nasal decongestants such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), or Sudafed should be just fine. If you start to notice any atypical side effects, call your doctor and discontinue use immediately.
Answer 2/3 - Submitted 9/28/2009
Deconfestants work by constricting blood vessels, shrinking the tissues in the nose, and will open the nasal passages. This constriction can temporarily interfere with those who have high blood pressure, and the treatment of high blood pressure.
The only cold medication specifically formulated for high blood pressure sufferers is Coricidin HBP(R). It is a safe and effective option for treatment of cold and flu when taken as directed. None of the four products in the Coricidin HBP line contain a decongestant, an ingredient that may raise the blood pressure of these patients or interfere with its treatment.
