Hi just wondering anyone suffering the same as me I've not had hayfever for a couple of years but this year got it really bad. Started about 6 weeks ago with stuffy nose blocked ear numerous trips to docs who said I have ear and throat infection had 2 lots of antibiotics plus taking antihistamines thought it had cleared up but it just seems to be getting worse I have a feeling of cotton wool in my right ear sometimes I feel like I'm loosing my balance I get a flush in my face which in turn makes me very anxious and panicky I just feel so stuffed up and cannot breath I have since been diagnosed with atrial fribullation but my consultant said this has nothing to do with it. I'm just so fed up of feeling like this I do have a lot of energy and I'm always on the go but when I feel like this I just get so run down and don't feel like doing anything. Sorry to go on just wondered if anyone else is feeling the same way during this hayfever season. Many thanks
Glitzy ,go look on the Dizzy forum ,read those post .
I have allergies ,tinnitus ( ears hissing /ringing ) also feel like cotton wool or muffled ears ,and balance ,this is why I've said go look on the dizzy forum .
Find your in good company .
Thanks Marlene will do pleased to know I'm not alone
Hi I have the same problems with my ears take allergiy tablets for a long list of allergies worse in summer 3 things that have helped me are haxmax and prevalin from Boots and steam with olbas oil in it.
Thanks Chris I will certainly try olbas oil and steam I haven't heard of ha max let you know how I get on.
many thanks
what if it's not a allergy and it's a intolerance? Maybe histamine intolerance?! It's pretty unknown so far, should go for a diagnosis to your allergist and if you are really intolerant, if heard a lot about a dietary supplement called Daosin.It helps if you are intolerant to histmamine
Thanks Alex for your reply I don't think it's an intolerance I don't seem to have symptoms all year round mind you not had hayfever for last couple of years maybe a little last year but not as bad as this I've now got sinus infection and on antibiotics I'm still getting blocked nose and ears and feels like pressure on the top on my head coz I'm finding it hard to breath properly if it doesn't clear up I will take your advise and see about it. I'm sick of feeling light headed and miserable but I suppose it's all the symptoms of allergy associated with cold. Keep smiling hope you are well.
Hi Marlene just wondering if you are feeling any better or still having your symptoms like mine hope it clears up soon.
Hi Glitzy ,Im still the same ,I've had this now for a straight 4 yrs,many of us have .Its good to talk to others with it ,I've got tinnitus going as well ,so it don't make for a good day period .
Least on the dizzy sites you get to find out lots more to this condition ,I get to talk to many ,here and across the globe ,it's a very big problem ,so by being in contact different Dr ENT's out there ,maybe one bright one will eventually help us .Its not a condition Dizzy or tinnitus that's easily fixed by looks of it either .Chin up Glitzy. Just work through the day your dealing with .Stressing it is .
Hi Marlene just wondering how you are doing not heard from you for a while I can honestly say there doesn't seem to be any let up from these horrible allergy symptoms thought the hayfever season was over but nope. My Sinusus seem worse than ever head feels like it's gonna explode and no matter what I take ie: hayfever tablets and nasal sprays nothing seems to work don't know if it's hormonal anxieties or just feeling down right rough. When will this ever end lol are you still experiencing these horrible symtoms xx
Hi Glitzy ,meant to have got back to you lot earlier days get away from me ,
I'm still the same ,just going through the motions daily .
Sorry your feeling the same,no answer for it ,think we're all in same boat. And continuing looking for relief .Ive had a bad eye infection ,think from allergy ,nice water blister on the top of my cheek ,slowly going after hot compresses .Never ends ,just one thing on top of another .xx
Hi Marlene nice to hear from you your right if it's not one thing it's another been to docs tons of time got invite to their Christmas party lol. Well he said I've got allergic rhinitis caused with hayfever and sinus he gave me a different nasal spray called Nasonex thought it was a miracle but oh no today back to the same stuffy nose and someone sitting on the top of my head feeling I'm told pollen still out but not as bad well cannot wait till end of September when it's all gone. Are you still feeling the same symptoms it's annoying, I must admit I'm not so tears or anxious wether that hormonal or not. Ahh well it's a glass of wine tonight forget my woes ha ha xx
Hi yes ,my ears are full up today ,and tinnitus has stayed high ,not dropped at all ,so another quiet day .I think you get good and really bad days with sinuses.Ive had nasal XRay ,had MRI ,but hey still have both going ,lot are saying its migraines more than the sinuses,well that's what they think on another site Im on .Ive got this balance with mine ,so a lot going on daily ,still no further on to getting better from it to it all ,have done from the start of all of this that hormones play big part .
I'm teetotal ,but maybe glass of wine would help .ha ha
Yeah I too still get bother with my tinnitus In fact when I wake up on a morning I don't know about you but my head and ears feel full strange sort of feeling but you are always aware of it until you start moving around doing things. Do you think weather still has a lot to do with it ?. I hope your eye gets better soon sounds really sore have you always been tea total perhaps the odd glass of wine would help .Did your X-ray and Mri come back normal I bet people think it's all in our heads lol xx
Glitzy ,I've thought hormones ,allergies ,thyroid,adrenals Lymes yes weather for tinnitus bad day ,air pressure .Females Id hit the Hormone button first and formost ,men and women got those in common ,
My MRI was for an acustic neuroma ,Ct scan was shown up to have 2 neck bones out of place ,due to neck ache following illness ,had those put back in ,but hey still suffer from neck ache 10 yrs on .My eye is so much better ,from how it was ,allergy I think it's cause ,as I suffer from sinuses .
Teetotal since being in my teens Glitzy ,never suited me drink .I only have one coffee a day ,due to tinnitus ,not the 4 I use to have .
No glitzy this isent all in the mind what's going on with us .Just need some good Dr to help us get to the ending of it .Get on with life as God intended .
Hope your week is peaceful ,and little pain as possible ,better still none would be even better .Takecare hey xx
Hi Marlene had a better day today been to tai chi it really does help we do breathing exercises and calming exercise if there's a class near you I would defo go there. Funny how we all have same symptoms nearly every day.Nothing wrong with being tea total I don't drink as much as I used to but never ever a heavy drinker I think it's since I got atrial fribullation from a virus it scared me so I try to look after myself a bit better lol. Hope your week is
good too xx
Hi Glitsy ,good better day for you ,when I lived out in Singapore ,Chinese neighbours use to do tai chi in there garden .Didnt know what it was they were doing until much later .Strange what viruses end up doing ,as it has with myself ,all from a virus .
This week started off same as every week has done ,just work my way through it ,as we all do when ill,we don't get a choice .
Yes we all take more care ,after illness .Teaches you I guess .Life lesson? Indeed xx
Hi Marlene how's it going just wondering if you are feeling ok well I can catagorily say I'm not ha ha. If I can laugh I'm still having a blocked nose head feeling full as soon as I wake up and the usual moment of lightheaded and dizziness. I get a headache when I bend forward totally fed up surely the pollen must be coming to an end I know that ragweed I think that's what you call is now out as well a bit pollen.i just wish I could wake up one morning and feel healthy instead of feeling like a 90 year old which I'm no where near mind you nothing against 90 year olds there probably fitter than me. another thing everyone on this site seems to be in perimeno I am in my 50s and last period about 12 years ago so I'm classed as menopause just wondering will I still be experiencing some of the 100 symtoms on this site I know you can get symptoms until your 70s but I do think half of mine are caused with anxiety lol let me know how you are doing xx
Hi Glitzy ,seem were still in same boat ,wether this is maybe hormone related? I think it is myself ,always have done deep down .What with Hormones ,tinnitus ,allergies and balance ,not got whole lot to jump for joy with .i think to that's why every one of us get whole lot of anxiety always around us ,to many things on health front going on ,All those menopause symptoms are an eye opener ,glad younger generation are so better informed ,my old mums generation,must have talked behind closed doors about there health
I've had bad past few days ,tinnitus gets on my wick ,that then interferes with this MdDs .My local friend who had same virus as myself at same time ,has same probs as myself since ,so we chat see how and what's happened since we picked that bug up ,she's got MdDs .and the rest like myself ,can't believe almost 10 yrs on we've got and been left as we are .
Yes females can go into there 70.s with issues ,lady I know was 72 before it all finally stopped ,Men get off light to light ,not enough being done for females ,only got to read all what's written on these posts bares that out .
Maybe you've got all year round allergies as myself .Hope you get in some lighter days ,the giddyness is the pits .Im on a site that deals with MdDs that's a bonus for me .Stay in touch Glitzy xx
Hi Marlene thanks for your reply hope your feeling better today,well I went to docs yesterday they said they would refer me to ent hospital so I said I would go private got an appointment tommorow I didn't really want to go private but it would probably be weeks before I got an appointment on nhs. It's a lot of money but I'm fed up with it now woke up ok as soon as I took dog out I started with blocked nose and unsteadiness this seems to stay like that for the rest of the day got me on the bottom ha ha. Do you get headaches as well like on your forehead and top it's very annoying but don't know if this is all stress related.Deffo coming back as a man xx
