a) Sympathomimetic decongestants can lead to rebound congestion, where nasal congestion worsens after discontinuation of the medication due to overuse or misuse.
b) These medications may cause cardiovascular effects such as increased blood pressure, palpitations, and arrhythmias, particularly in individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions.
c) Sympathomimetic decongestants can exacerbate symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, and nervousness due to their stimulatory effects on the central nervous system.
