Have AFIB or HTN, Better Read This
No doubt that this will open your sinuses and lungs, but if you have hypertension or atrial fibrillation you may not be able to use it. My atrial fibrillation is reasonably well controlled by medicine, and my hypertension is mild and also controlled. I took one capsule of this product with breakfast, and within an hour my pulse had risen to 110 and blood pressure to 150/95. These effects lasted a little over 6 hours. This is unfortunate because I most certainly could breathe better and would love to have continued using it. Such effects increased blood pressure and heart rate are caused by atropine like drugs. Just because a medicine is derived from plants doesn't mean it can't cause problems. Use with care.
