Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Itching in the nose might not be a symptom caused due to adverse effects of blood pressure medication.
It appears by your description that it could be associated with allergic reaction caused due to pets.
Kindly take medication containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine once a day for a week.
Gradually, your symptoms should get better. Avoid coming in contact with pets or its products, as it may precipitate such reactions again.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
