I got interested in the subject since almost all of us were taught to be cautioned on sympathomimetics in hypertensive and diabetic patients. However I did a review and it appears that most reports/studies show that the increase is usually 1-2 pressure units systolic and 2-3 pulses in HR only. There were almost no adverse effects reported.
With that in mind, does it really matter? I see a lot of pharmacists directing patients to nasal sprays/normal saline solutions instead once a person say they have hypertension.
