Brief Answer:
hydralazin may cause it
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
hydralazin may cause stuffiness. The same applies for tamsulosin but it's rarer. Finasteride is another potential cause. Before attributing any symptom to the drugs though your doctor should exclude other potential causes like infections and allergic reactions. If you've been taking the drugs for long and did not have any symptoms then the drugs are much less likely to be the cause. If the symptoms coincided with drug initiation then a side effect is more likely.
I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
