Hi,
I'm sorry you have a cold and hay fever. I have high blood pressure that's controlled also. I use Ibuprofen 1/2 tablet of a 200 mg. tablet. It helps with mucus and doesn't affect my blood pressure. I also put Mentholatum in my nose when I go to bed. That helps me breathe through the night.
I wish you the best.
PML

I’m with you. I have chronic postnasal drip and cough. Using Xyzal and Astepro nasal spray. Not very helpful. Sudafed is pretty much the best solution for it but have been told not to use it. Also looking for something comparable that doesn’t come with side effects. Is Sudafed really that bad?
