same here, i searched the topic and you were already here with exact same condition that i have been through.. i feel you
i am suffering from severe panic attacks and I am being anxious all the time and for a long time I didn’t know what was the reason, I think what I’m having is an acute sinusitis but it is costing me Head and face pressure that will drive you crazy. Now that I have read your Story I am weirdly happy that I can share it to someone else that understand what’s happening. I wish for your fast recovery and hope everything’s gonna be all right after the surgery.
I haven’t had an anxiety attack, but I have cried because I am so miserable! I am two months into this thing - what I thought was a sinus infection, but my ENT said it’s not after a CT Scan. So I can see at 4 months out feeling like you do because the thought of living with this for the rest of my life is very depressing. Let’s not give up hope. Please let me know how things go with you. I hope you feel back to normal asap!
Sara! I have gone through this as well. When I have a lot of congestion, I will have a dream-state like attack that is like a dream that I have had before. It is odd and unsettling to say the least. I had this before my surgery last September and it went away for a while but I am getting it back again. My surgeon said that the surgery will take care of the physical issues that was causing the problems but she will need to address the “underlying” issue which she never did and doesn’t seem to be able to address! I think allergies are the culprit along with dry weather conditions. You are not alone!
EXACTLY!!!
hey! i have the same problem. could you please update me on what happened. this would mean the world to me and thank you!
hey i know it’s been years u wrote this but, I am in the exact same position. please take take time to read it. My sinuses are kinda infected but the Depersonalization is bothering me too much. I feel it’s not me. I feel different, not that i am anxious or anything. This sh*t is making me anxious. I can’t see myself in the mirror it feels like a different person. Whenever the sinus gets better I feel normal again. That’s scary. How are You Now???
How are you now? hope are okay.I am in the same position now.HELP.its scary.
I haven’t trawled through the thread. This was an impulse post. Forgive me if I am preaching to the converted. Just woke up feeling good. My sinusitis has been terrible, even ended up in AE with a suspected stroke, headache and breathing was so bad. Sleeping mostly upright for last two years. Violently always there, worse still with certain foods (mostly wheat) Have tried everything. Finally bought a salt machine. Two weeks ago. Slept like a baby every night. I used to drink huge amounts of water pre bed to loosen mucus, then spend night swallowing gunge. No more. I stlll know I have a problem, in the morning my upper passages almost tingle as if they have been cleared out. I still feel a little thick headed for a few minutes. But the improvement is huge. I can breathe. It stops the mucus flow. I don’t clog up and when I lay down, I dont fill up. Its like living by the sea and breathing pure air. I bought one for a friend with glue ear, and so far she can’t detect any improvement, though she suspects it might work long term…so it’s not a cureall. But given how cheap it was its been miraculous. I have no interest in any machines, don’t get paid for this. Just so pleased it worked. Its been particularly good for me because a botched cauterization 5 yrs ago to stop nosebleeds, left me with a scarred nostril, ridged and pitted that is anything but smooth. That blocks if you look at it. So chronic sinusitis, for which I had been prescribed everything was a nightmare.
did you every get it sorted Sara??
did you get this sorted in the end??
was this sorted after seeing ENT
