My husband has a lot of mucus build-up from sinus problems, but because of high blood pressure has to be careful about taking over-the-counter medications for it. Any suggestions on meds that would be safe for him to take?

I saw something on tv called a neti pot. Look it up. It really works even when nothing else does. It’s going to seem weird when you read about it but it works and is completely safe. THey have them at Walmart or your local drug store. This is no joke! Watch
My husband uses this to keep from getting bronchitis, and I use to to cure sinus infections. THere are many kinds of bacteria that live in the sinuses, and this gets rid of all the bad ones!.This is the only thing that really helped me — my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.
you need
distilled water
sea salt
liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.
in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.
add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.
using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.
Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.
The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don’t get rid of them all.
Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.
Then do it once a week for maintenance.
There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.
I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.
best wishes
Try a neti pot. I have been using a neti pot for 15 yrs or so. At first look they are kind of freaky but they are perfectly safe and you only use saline, which is a natural substance in the body. They work amazingly well.
You can pick one up at a health food store, or walgreens pharmacy.
Please check into the use of colloidal silver before considering using it..from Mayo clinics website:
Colloidal silver is not considered either safe or effective in any of the health claims manufacturers make. No studies to evaluate colloidal silver have been published in reputable medical journals. Thus, all the claims for health benefits are based on manufacturers’ opinions and anecdotes.
The Food and Drug Administration does not consider colloidal silver safe or effective to treat any disease or condition. Taking colloidal silver could have serious side effects, such as:
* Argyria — an irreversible blue-gray discoloration of your skin, nails and gums
* Seizures and other neurological problems
* Kidney damage
* Indigestion
* Headaches
* Fatigue
* Skin irritation
* Drug interactions with penicillamine, quinolones, tetracycline and thyroxine medications
My recommendation would be Coricidin. It comes in several different formulas and is safe to take with high blood pressure. My mom has high blood pressure and has been taking this medication. It has had no effect on her blood pressure at all and was suggested to her by her family doctor. It is available over the counter at most drug stores, pharmacies, or supermarkets. It is available as Coricidin HBP or Coricidin D. The different formulas available work to treat different symptoms. She said it works wonders!
