How Can Nasal Congestion Be Treated While On Verapamil And Lisinopril?

I have a nasal infection and am taking an antibiotic for it -augmentin. I also have high blood pressure and am taking verapamil and lisinopril for it. Sudafed is not recommended for my nasal congestion because of high BP, and Afrin is addictive. I need sleep, but breathing is a problem what do you recommend ?

Hello,

I understand your concern.

I see through your query that you have already taken antibiotics.

I recommend using saline nasal sprays for temporary relief.

I also recommend drinking liquids and using a humidifier at home.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
