Hi I have used my neti pot mixing the salt that came with it to warm water, and right after I am done I get stuffed up most of the time only one side. once both. I followed the directions the water flowed out, I did the bending to release any fluid the minutes later I can't breath

Your nasal passages may be inflamed and swollen.

I had a neti pot and when my sinuses were inflamed it felt like I was shooting gravel and water up my nose. It hurt and I would end up stuffed up and miserable later. Some people swear by them but they're not for me. I just use regular saline nasal spray now.
