is there anyone else thats been dealing with sinus issues that seems to be on going? for 5 weeks ive been keeping dry stuffy sinuses and pressure off and on. my grandbabies was getting sick and was around me but i never got sick like they did. this is causing my anxiety to be in high gear as its messing with my balance worse then usual.
Hi pamela , have you been given antibiotic for sinus infection ? Have you tried sinus medications ?
no nothing im trying not to go the antibiotic route as there is no mucus or discoloration of mucus. just a dry stuffiness
Well home remedies , a steam therapy , inhale steam through your nose … Rub a little vicks under your nose .. Use a saline nasal spray .. Peppermint tea , for starters
im beginning to wonder if the hydroxyzine for anxiety isnt keeping them dry and stuffy im gonna stop taking that
Please consult your doctor before stopping your medication , , they can wean you off of it and give you another one to take
my dr didnt prescribe it the ER did its just an antihistamine take when needed for anxiety I think this is drying my sinuses way out
Back in December, 2018, I had a very frightening problem with my gait. I could not walk in a straight line and had to keep holding onto things.
I went to my GP who ran a heap of blood tests with no result and then sent me for a CT brain scan and the only thing which came out of it was acute pansinusitis (I think). As a result of that I started using the sachets of salt which you put into a plastic bottle and sniff up - warm water**. I was OK after a few weeks though of course it may well have righted itself anyway.
Just this week, for the first time in ages I have had toothache, only just had my six-monthly exam too, and I’m thinking this may be sinus-related as it’s upper rear teeth though I’ve made an appointment to see my dentist.
** Neilmed Sinus Rinse. You can get it in a chemist/pharmacy. Steam might help too.
