pseudoephedrine effects on the body
Pseudoephedrine can have many effects on the nervous system. Common side effects include dizziness, tremors, fear, restlessness, headache, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, drowsiness and tension.
Pseudoephedrine inadvertently affects the cardiovascular system by causing the common side effects of irregular heart rhythm and high blood pressure. Less common cardiovascular side effects include fast heart rate, a sensation of the heart pounding in the chest, easy bruising and bleeding, and pain in the chest area.
Pseudoephedrine narrows the blood vessels in the nose that are swollen during nasal congestion. This causes a decrease in the amount of fluid that is forced into the lining of the nasal passages and, as a result, less mucus is produced.
