Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I recently started taking metoprolol for high blood pressure, which is still hovering around 150/90. I have also recently had a flu shot and now have a stuffy nose which is interfering with my sleep. What treatments (if any) are safe for me to take for nasal congestion without increasing my risk of either increasing or dramatically decreasing my blood pressure?

Suggest Remedies For Stuffy Nose And Insomnia
Hello, Nasal congestion can be related to the flu vaccine. It can be a side effect of this vaccine. I suggest using a saline nasal spray for local application. You can also use Acetaminophen to reduce inflammation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
