I asked the pharmacist about Coricidin HBP and he said it wouldn't help much. He also said that the Sudafed wouldn't run my BP up very much at all. He uses the 12-hr kind that doesn't give the sudden impact that keeps him awake and jittery. The dh just went to the drugstore for some.

Also, I've found that a netipot can sometimes make things worse, really concentrate the congestion so that it is especially difficult to make it drain. Well, that's my experience, anecdotal, anyway.
I hope you get some relief. |
It's really strange that my sinuses are so stopped up because I am draining like a sieve! Completely yellow all the time. Sorry, TMI! I think I'll lay off the netipot, even though the doc said to use it.

I won't mess around with waiting to get help if it goes extremely high. My mom had High BP and it is very dangerous if it stays there.
THANKS GUYS!
