So, yes I do think this helps. It seemed to produce a wetter mucus that could be blown out, and relatively quickly. In fact I avoid the tissue to not get rid of the solution right away. It definitely helped with the extreme dryness. On day 2 though I felt really lightheaded when I bent over to open a lower cabinet door in the middle of the day. Took my blood pressure and it was low. Didn’t think a lot of it or connect it. That night before bed I took my BP again and it was way low, 87/56. I had used 1 spray in each nostril 3 times that day. So I went to drugs.com and looked it up and low BP is listed as a side effect , albeit rare. I just happen to be really sensitive to meds and have had bad side effects from commonly prescribed drugs.
Since I went straight to bed I don’t know how long my BP remained low but it’s something I may monitor because the stuff definitely worked. I used HealthGuard Cromolyn Sodium Nasal Solution, USP 5.2 mg dose.

Great about it helping! I only use it in the morning when I get up! At night I use Flonase…and throughout the day I use Arm and Hammer Simply Saline Nasal Mist. I also use the Nightime one if I’m really congested and I sleep better. I could see if I used the Cromolyn 3 times a day that I also might have a reaction. It’s potent. So using Simply Saline in the car or anytime, is really helpful at keeping the nostrils moisturized in a healthy way. I’m so glad it’s helping you though! Good on you!!!
