Hi
My husband is on xerelto rivaoxaban. He always suffers with his sinuses and has done for years. I have seen the product called xlear a natural inhaler that you squeeze up each nostril. It has grapefruit seed extract. I understand grapefruit and xerelto do not mix if eaten or taken orally. What about using this up the nose? Any ideas I'd be grateful. Thanks all
We must not comment on such matters as we are not medically trained . Please discuss with your Doctor or phamacist.
Is it against forum policy to say whether or not something is working for oneself? If so, is this tied in with British law?
At least in the US there are many thousands of comments about usefulness of or problems with patent medicines and supplements on Amazon and other sites.
Before he tries an inhaler, he may want to look at the YouTube videos of Patrick McKeweon in particular an exercise to clear the nose just by holding your breath 6 times BUT only if his health condition allows. Also check out James Nestor's videos.
My guess is your husband breathes a lot through his mouth during the day and at night. The theory goes you need to just nose breath in and out; it seems to be a case of 'Use it or lose it'. At night (assuming no other medical issues) he could also try using a small piece of tape on his mouth in the middle to hold his lips together so he nasal breathes when asleep. Also during the day he could try the recommended breathing exercise perhaps on walks; this is slow, light & deep breaths in and out just 6 a minute with a pause before taking the next breath in.
I am 67yo, have Lone PAF with no other comorbidities so I am following the above and am half way through a one year trial and what I can report so far is:
Benefits: wake up fresher with nose clear, more energy during the day & better circulation
Drawbacks/side effects: None identified yet
Hope something there helps.
