Question:
Husband has flu like symptoms-took cold & flu tabs this morn & has had elevated pulse all day & is dizzy???
His pulse has been from 115 to 130 during the day & has a fever....has been to doctor & he said it has something to do with pseudoefedrine & high blood pressure. He gave him some pills to take but this seems to be taking a while!! Anyone have any ideas ...
Answers:
Here is one, contact the Dr. that he saw and ask for a full explanation of what is happening and how long he should be feeling the effects of what he took. Pseudophederine and fever can cause elevated heart rate, and increased blood pressure is also a side effect.
"Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using pseudoephedrine and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
fast, pounding, or uneven heartbeat;severe dizziness, anxiety, restless feeling, or nervousness;
easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness, fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms; or increased blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision, trouble concentrating, chest pain, numbness, seizure)."

Anyone on this forum,having no access to your husband, his medical history, exactly what he took and the dosage, what meds he is currently on, if any, etc. it is simply too dangerous to give advice over the computer. You need to continue to monitor him and if nothing changes when the meds finally clear his system, then you need to follow through with another visit to the doctor. If he passes out or comes close to passing out, then get yourself to the Dr. or ER.
