Is Taking Tylenol Acceptable While On Losartan And Atenolol For High BP?
I have had bad sinus congestion the past 3 days and some light headedness the past few days and I was concerned about my BP so I went to my local rite-aide and went on one of those machines they have for BP and mine was 154/81 and it said it was high. I thought the systolic was elevated but the diastolic was descent. I am om Meds for BP and I take losartan potassium 100mg and Ateneol 25 mg for BP. So I was a bit concerned about the numbers but the pharmacist said it could be from the sinuses. My BP is usually good and I get it checked often. She said to come in tomorrow and check it again and if it s still high to see my doctor this week. I was wondering if there was anything I can take over the counter for the stuffiness. Would Tylenol be acceptable. I am resting today but this change in the weather has made my sinuses go crazy. I have had this problem before and my doctor gave me some Meds but it s Saturday and I won t be able to see him till Monday. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Hello,
You can take Tylenol and it is quite safe for your blood pressure etc. You should also undergo steam inhalation. You can also take tab ibuprofen. It will help sinuses.
