Dear Linda

I to feel my allergies have gotten worse since menopause the dry nose and eyes but they still water the mucus more now I'm always coughing up cold due to my sinuses draining down my throat at night then it makes my mouth taste so nasty my head stays stuffy I also get the Ringing in my ears from being clogged from the drainage grrrrrrrrrr yes your not alone

Yes my allergies and sinuses are a hot mess. I guess we just have to hang in there.

Oh! My God! Thanks God I've got that strange cold THE 3d week and the same! Im crying thinking im mad! Antibiotic doesn't make any difference.

With me it comes and goes but i would say the same for 3 weeks now.

Yes,yes, yes. Constantly have a stuffy mose. I have to carry tissues everywhere i go

Thank you so much! I feel bad so its normal? I has started only 3 days ago taken antibiotics.

Ok I'm here for u.this site had helped alot also take care and enjoy your day

Hi Monique,  I've been through menopause for twenty years and still have year-round allergies  and it began during menopause.  Antibiotics don't help my sinus issues because they are mold-based, not bacterial.  It can be miserable. Some days are better than others.  And I have plugged ears every day, plus ringing ears, plus hearing my heartbeat in my ears, all  the time.  Add in fatigue from chronic fatigue syndrome, occasional vertigo from the plugged ears, and daily heart palpitations  (pounding and arrhythmia both). But over time, I've been able to do more things than I used to.

.  I can't take any medications for the allergies and sinus except for saline nasal spray (because of the heart palpitations). No Sudafed, like I used to use, and no antihystamines (they caused dry eye). Occasionally I use Flonase, but that makes dry eye worse to..  Even with all those things, the anxiety attacks I had during menopause were worse then. I don't get them as often now. And if I pace myself, and rest enough, I can still find meaningful ways to enjoy most days.    Menopause is not for sissies, is it?  Put yourself in the hands of a good doctor. I hope you're dealing better with all this soon  Sending you hugs. Hoping you have better days ahead.

And, I'm retired, so I enjoy 

I forgot to add sometime when my nose is really dry it's hard to breathe through my nose and it makes me light headed grrrrrrrrrr thank you take care prayers for all of us

Hi

I too though had thyroid cancer. Lost my voice, knot on side of neck, ear pain .had these symptoms for 3 straight months then stopped out of blue. I was scared my mom had thyroid cancer,cancer runs like crazy on both sides of the family. All these different symptoms can be very scary. Don't know if something is really wrong.

Though I was alone with feeling this way! !!

My Dr. gave me prescription for Aygestin I am so afraid to try new medicine because of side effects which is stupid because I already feel terrible how much worse could it be.

Hello,

I was commenting today how my head feels full . It makes me dizzy.  The weird thing is that i dont have a stuffy nose, but am sneezing, dry eyes, itchy skin and can feel globs of post nasal drip throughout the day.  My doctor wont treat because they think it is related to reflux of all things.  I hope it goes away. Allergy meds seem to hlep but the 24 hour zyrtec im taking only lasts about 16 hours and then the full head/dizziness  comes back.  It is interfering with my life!!  I try to stay positive and not talk about it because im sure everyone in my family is sick of hearing how crappy i feel.  Cant wait for some answers.  You are not alone.  

You are so right especially my daughter I know complaining doesn't help but you feel so helpless. I feel like I have a virus every week or two and always suffering with sinus problems. Hang in there๐Ÿ˜Š

I get this too.  Have for years. I can't take Allegra, Claritin, or Zyrtec anymore (get a heart arrhythmia from them.  I just have to live with the full head and feeling groggy and sometimes dizzy/lightheaded.   I have year-round allergies, so my sinuses get involved now and then.  Can't take antibiotics for it either. Very allergic to most antibiotics. It's really difficult, and as Linda says, you feel so helpless. I do get a little relief from Simply Saline spray, but that's about all.

I feel bad today. Dry mouth and nouse, that strange feeling in my right lung or just deep right side of my neck its eachy kind of when i breathe out.OMG
