Hello,
nostrilla spray(Oxymetazoline) is a decongestant. It works by constricting (shrinking) blood vessels (veins and arteries) in your body. The nasal formulation acts directly on the blood vessels in your nasal tissues. Constriction of the blood vessels in your nose and sinuses leads to drainage of these areas and a decrease in congestion. One of its side effect may be elevation of blood pressure and an irregular or fast heartbeat. So you should talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome or you may discontinue it for few days to check if it works. Hope it helps. Take care and regards.
