What can I take for sinus/head cold if I'm on Crestor and Diovan?

I know you are not supposed to take certain medications if you are taking Diovan and Crestor. I have sinus congestion and a severe head cold. What can I take?

    You can use any of the topical nasal decongestant drops or sprays that contain oxymetazoline or phenylephrine. Patients with high blood pressure should not take a systemic decongestant like Sudafed or Drixoral, they will raise your blood pressure.

    EDIT: Coricidin HBP, an oral decongestant marketed to patients with high blood pressure, is safe to use but not very efficacious. I don't recommend it.

    Try Coricidin HP It is especially designed for people with high blood pressure and available over the counter.
