For Nasal Congestion "I have used it over two days with a total of 4 doses. It worked, and it did its job perfectly, but then when I wanted to sleep, I had insane palpitations causing insomnia, and I didn't end up getting any sleep. Apparently, it is one of the side effects. When using it, I also noticed dried blood, but when I stopped, the blood is like mucus and won't stop."
