Have borderline high blood pressure.have washed nose with salt water 2 or3 times a day&rinsed mouth with salt water once a day. can this raise my bp?

Yes it can: Yes, this can raise your blood pressure temporarily. I doubt that it will cause any trouble unless you plan on using it for a long time. It would be safer if you are able to check blood pressure and stop using the salt water if you blood pressure is persistently above 130/80 mmHg.
