Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. The symptom you mention in query is occurring due to two reasons . Firstly it occur due to sinusitis (infection of sinus ) ,It is further exaggerated by dryness of mouth caused by infection. Secondly it is caused by the medicine you are taking for blood pressure .

So i would suggest you to consult ENT surgeon(ear, nose ,throat) for sinusitis . Doctor may order CT scan or X-ray.

Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (cefixim or penicillin) at least for 10 days along with decongestant and mucolytic agents .

Also consult your physician / cardiologist and discuss about blood pressure medicines . Doctor may alter the dose of medicine or give substitute . He/she may also prescribe medicine to make the chemical composition normal.

For now keep yourself hydrate by drinking plenty of water and oral redeyhydration solution for electrolyte balance .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
