For Nasal Congestion "Used this due to facial flushing and anxiety to clear up my stuffy nose. 2 sprays in each nostril once a day for 2 days ended me up in the ER. High blood pressure and rapid heart rate... very rapid. Normally my BP is 118/78, last night 155/93. ER doc was like no more Afrin, gave me a sedative and kept an eye on me for 4 hours. Wore off slowly. Stuff works great, but there are the side effects!"

Oxymetazoline nasal for Nasal Congestion "So sad that I have to read what the sheep have to say, the same thing over and over again. They all cannot open the bottle. Instead of talking about the medication, they talk about the cap - monkey see, monkey do. In this context, talking about the same thing over and over again - pathetic. It tells a lot about the people. The medication is okay, but it gave me headaches, dizziness, and high blood pressure if used more than usual."

For Nasal Congestion "Basically, felt like I was on speed or something. Do not use if you have high BP. I found the bottle was fine to open."

Oxymetazoline nasal for Nasal Congestion "If you have high blood pressure, DO NOT use this nasal spray! I've had the flu and bought this thinking it would help me breathe. Started feeling really bad after using, checked BP - 150/93! I'm already on BP meds - I don't need help making it worse. This is going in the trash. AVOID!!!"
