High Blood Pres...

Blood pressure is the amount of pressure that your blood exerts on your arteries as it travels throughout your body, delivering oxygen and other nutrients to your cells. Your blood pressure can change throughout the day, but in general, a normal blood pressure reading is less than 120/80 mmHg.

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a condition in which your blood pressure is consistently higher than normal. If you struggle with chronically high blood pressure, your arteries can eventually become less elastic, which makes it harder for your heart to pump blood and oxygen throughout your body. Ultimately, chronic high blood pressure can increase your risk of a variety of heart and health conditions. In fact, hypertension is also sometimes called the “silent killer” since it can have serious consequences on your health but doesn’t always come with many obvious signs.

If you have high blood pressure and have symptoms of a cold or the flu, you may need to look specifically for high blood pressure cold medicine without decongestants to tackle your symptoms.

Decongestants are some of the most common ingredients that you’ll find in over-the-counter cold and flu remedies. Decongestants work by narrowing blood vessels, which can reduce swelling in the tissues in your nose that you might experience during a cold or the flu. Ultimately, this action can help relieve nasal stuffiness.

Unfortunately, decongestants can also narrow other blood vessels in your body, which can increase your blood pressure. Because of this, people with high blood pressure should choose cold medicines that do not contain decongestants.
