Hi i am a 62 year old female i have had my thyroid completely removed and just recently went on atenol 50mg my blood pressure is still around 148-86. 62. I talk synthroid 0.125, atenol 50,omperzole 20 each once a day. Five days ago i developed a bad cold now i have sever congestion and pressure that does not allow me to hear out of each ear. I was on an airplane when it started its decent and pain was severe now five days later its actually worse. I have never had sinus issues so i am not sure if this is that or in the ears. I am scared to take anhything over the counter for fear it will raise my blood pressure, shoul i seek medical care or can you recommend a decongestant
