Yep, I checked my blood pressure right before, and 10 and 45 minutes after. No change though. I read somewhere that only a small amount of oxymetazoline is absorbed into the bloodstream, maybe 5-10%. I only used one spray in each nostril, it lasted me all day. (Maybe using more would have been different.)
Oxymetazoline is very effective for me. Far better than the oral stuff I used in the past (pseudoephedrine, etc). I hear that it can give you bad rebound congestion though so I only used it for three days (which was really all I needed anyway).
