User Comments about Neilmed Sinus Rinse

14 Apr 2011

I've had success with clearing sinuses with neilmed,HOWEVER,I've also been experiencing terribly frightening dreams,fast heartbeat,extreme dizziness,blurry and sometimes sorta double or spots of 'missing'vision.I also experience occasional popping of ears and some of the solution seems to come out of the corners my eyes and it dries there.I had sinus surgery a few years ago to open blocked passages.

I started using NeilMed Sinus Rinse approx. 100 days ago, after having sinus surgery. Since then, I've been having problems with my heart pounding, and trouble sleeping. Anyone else experiencing this? I would like very much to find out if it's from the NeilMed, or if I need to start looking elsewhere. I'm concerned because I know this rinse packet contains Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda), which was an ingredient in a pH balance capsule I took years ago because I was battling Metabolic Acidosis. - Then I started going the other direction (too much Sodium Bicarbonate), and got Metabolic Alkalosis. - This is a fine line you have to balance, so I'm wondering if too much of the baking soda is getting into my system. Would greatly appreciate any help/suggestions. Thanks
