What Causes Headache And Dizziness After Taking Advil Multi-cold And Tylenol Multi-cold?

My husband has high blood pressure but isn t taking any medicine for it. He has a cold and took Advil multicold medicine plus Tylenol multicold daytime medcine within 1-2 hours. After about an hour he felt terrible, headache and dizziness. I am thinking it raised his blood pressure and has been about 4 1/2 hours since he took them and he still feels bad. How long does it take to leave his system?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your husbands problem is most likely due to shoot up ofblood. Multi cold medicine will also have nasal decongestants which won't be suitable for hypertensives. The effect might last for 8 to 12 hours. It is better to check his blood pressure and rule out that. In such condition i usually gives anxiolytics like alprazolam which is helpful. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further queries.
Thanks
