The danger of narrowing the blood vessels

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – US scientists have warned that heart and flu medications can lead to heart attacks and strokes, as the risk of injury is increased in case of high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease.

The risk of these medications because they contain ingredients that cause high blood pressure, relieves congestion and reduces the flow of fluid to the sinuses, which causes dryness and reduces the severity of cold. Of course, these drugs also act to shrink the blood vessels because they contain components such as the chemical compound "pseudoephedrine" or "phenylphrine" very dangerous for the heart and blood vessels.

"If you are suffering from high blood pressure or heart disease, the last thing to do is to shrink the blood vessels, as this worsens the disease." As you know, an increase in high blood pressure can lead to a heart attack or stroke. We therefore emphasize that this includes even those who do not suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease, where they should use these drugs with great caution. "
