Cold & Pain meds for HPB patients

Question

Asked for Male, 32 Years

Hi, I suffer from high blood pressure and have been taking Metocard XL 50 mg med for it. I have read online that the commonly available OTC cold and pain meds like Paracetamol and D-Cold etc interact with high blood pressure medicines and should be avoided. Can someone suggest proper alternative cold or pain medicines that are okay to use if I ever need to use them. Thank You.
