10 foods that make you smell. You're sitting on a train thatâs slightly warm, packed with passengers, and suddenly you get a whiff of rotten egg stench. Stop after stop, the crowd thins out, but that onerous odor remains. You search for the offender as subtly as you can, so you can find a seat in the opposite direction.
2. Decongestants. Many OTC cold, flu and allergy medications include decongestants, which can cause a rise in blood pressure and/or interfere with the effectiveness of some prescriptions. Do not take decongestants if you have high blood pressure or are taking medications that treat high blood pressure or heart conditions.
Decongestants can temporarily relieve nasal congestion, but also slightly raise blood pressure during their usage - especially with decongestants containing the ingredient pseudoephedrine. Due to these small spikes in blood pressure, consult your physician if you have high blood pressure and wish to use decongestants. Decongestant uses. Nasal congestion has many different root causes, including colds, flu and allergies. You can take decongestants orally (by mouth) or as nasal sprays or drops.
