General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear Patient, the blood pressure going from 140/70 to 135/54 is not something you need to worry about too much. Mucinex usually doesn't cause bp to be low, but your flu infection and fever can do that. So with the numbers you are desribing i recommend keeping the cozaar paused as long as bp stays lower than 140/70. The mucinex is most likely not a problem. Hope you get better soon, if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
