>I can't take pseudoephedrine due to high blood pressure

I really miss being able to take pseudoephedrine. I mentioned to my doctor that it seemed to affect my blood pressure and he looked scandalized and told me I should never take it again. Apparently someone should have told me when I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. The only real information I got was a handout for a DASH diet.

I just checked the package for a random pseudoephedrine product

It says consult your doctor before use if you have high blood pressure or heart disease.

Yeah, I don't think it was mentioned when I was diagnosed, but the pharmacist asked about it when I next went to buy some more. That was a very sad day.

I miss being able to take Night Nurse and then sleep like a baby.
