an NSAID for chronic pain, ask your healthcare provider whether it remains the most appropriate option.
- Decongestants Such as Pseudoephedrine
That cold or sinus medicine in your cabinet may contain a stimulant-like decongestant.
One common example is pseudoephedrine.
Decongestants work by narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and making it easier to breathe.
But blood-vessel constriction can also affect the cardiovascular system.
The American Heart Association notes that decongestants can increase blood pressure and are a particular concern for people with uncontrolled hypertension or heart disease.
