Clarification of Question by probonopublico-ga on 08 Sep 2006 12:52 PDT

I do wonder who's placed a lock on this question ....

Speak to me, please!

Hi Bryan!

Based on the following web pages, Beta Blockers indeed cause nasal congestion.

"Birth control pills, blood pressure medicines called beta-blockers,
and Viagra can cause increased nasal congestion."

The American Academy of Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery 
http://www.entnet.org/healthinfo/nose/Nose.cfm


"Other medications that may cause rhinitis include oral
contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, and some blood pressure
medications, including beta-blockers and vasodilators."

New York Methodist Hospital
http://www.nym.org/healthinfo/docs/077/doc77.html


"Some medications can cause nonallergic rhinitis. These include
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and
ibuprofen, and blood pressure (hypertension) medications, such as beta
blockers."

Mayo CLinic

Brilliant, Easterangel, as always.

Very many thanks!

I haven't seen quite so much of you recently ...

I was worried in case you had made your fortune without telling or
sharing it with me.

All the Best

NOw I can finally add my comment.
Even asperin can cause nasal congestion when properly taken.  Just
take two for desired effect.  ;-)

Here is my considered opinion: 
Any medication in pill form can cause nasal congestion if you stick it
up your nose instead of swallowing it.

Many thanks also to my two learned friends for their comments.

Sorry, Pink, you should have been much faster with the locking mechanism ...

Maybe yours needs oiling?

Kemlo,
Let's keep this above the belt, to be on the safe side, above the collar.
I think Bryan is very touchy about maintaining propriety on his questions.

That was why I was trying to be so subtle, not like that Midwestern
Redhead, but out there people seem to be more direct about telling you
where to put it.
