I am on my second 50 pack of sinus rinse - and told to continue. I have a stent and dual channel Pacemaker - along with taking heart Meds. Is this salty mix going to affect my bodys salt intake. I do try very hard not to ingest any of the rinse.

I am addressing this in reference to the Sodium Intake per day. The amount of sodium that may be retained after the rinse will be less than 1/2 slice of a bread. The retention after the rinse is 2 to 4% of the solution.Please always follow the advice of your physician, as he knows your specific condition and medications.
