Q.344 - Could the rinse cause vertigo?

You may get temporary dizziness if you do irrigation and blow the nose very hard or if you irrigate forcefully.  Please make sure to follow the instructions very carefully.  You do not want to get water into inner ears by too much force.

 Hi: I have used your sinus rinse the previous year or so and it works really well for allergies etc. In December I had a couple of Vertigo episodes. My ear, nose throat Dr told me no caffeine and keep your salt down to a minimum. Would NeilMed (pouches) in any way add to the possibility of bringing on Vertigo? Tom

 Hi Dr. Your products have been of great assistance / convenience. Ent specialist said I have deviated septum which is causing sinus issues. Can sinuses issues cause disorientation? Why does pain/ pressure fluctuate so easily? Can acupuncture help? Thanks

 After using 4 oz of nasal rinse solution, I am convinced that it is enough for today. Is it safe to keep the other 4 oz that are in the 8 oz bottle to use the next day?

 I am on a low salt diet. I'm wondering how much salt might be absorbed into my body, if any, from the saline rinse that I use daily. Thanks.

Please avoid the high pressure on the bottle to have such problem in the future. Your symptoms will resolve soon.
