Nostil blockage, tingling In head and face

6 months with allergies. Loads of symptoms although some have eased . The last month I've developed tingling in left side of head and face. I've been getting loads of discomfort before in my left cheek. My left nostril is completely blocked up most the time and have swollen turbinates. Im going back to doctors next week to tell him about this tingling. I'm putting it down the allergies but I'd be going mad if I didn't have the blocked nose I'd think it was something more serious.

Hi Richard...

Hopefully you're seeing an ENT physician.   Regardless you may need a CT Scan to determine what's causing the discomfort.  I've had blockages over the years resulting from Sinusitis and Nasal Polyps. 

Hi John

No just my local GP. He put me on predisone and amitripilyine but it hasn't helped. When I go back next week I'm going to demand some further more in depth checks. Did you have these symptoms ?

Thanks

Yep, I've had some tingling, but it was rare.  I've had several surgeries to remove nasal polyps and the polyps can without a doubt cause blockage.  There was no residual pain from the surgeries, but the first few days there is lots of drainage.  I've never known a GP could do much for my blockage.  I like my GP, but my ENT I like better for my nasal and sinus problems.
