Sinus problems and geting physically sick

by SilverWaves, Jul 27, 2007 12:01PM
Hi all,

I have been suffering with awful sinus problems for about a year now.  A couple of times, they even required trips to the ER.  Anyway, I had surgery last March because my septum was apparently deviated and there was a blockage in my nasal sinuses.  He said that my nose had been broken at one point, apparently I didnt even know it.

After the surgery, things were looking up for a little while, but then, my symptoms came back.  Now they seem to be worsening a great deal again.  I get horrible pressure in the bridge of my nose, awful headaches, dizziness, and they make me feel physically sick.  I feel like I am going to throw up a lot of times from it, but never actually can.  It remains dry heaving, and it sucks!

Im wondering if anyone knows what could be going on here???  Anyone with similar symptoms???

Oh my gosh....is there an infection deep in your sinuses?
Do you have allergies that may be causing reoccuring sinus infections?

You should go see an allergist...get another opinion.

I have seen soooooo many different doctors.  My ENT is completely lost now, and said I should see a neurologist.  I dont have insurance right now though so i cant do anything.

But i think you are right and that an allergist would be a good bet.

Please please can someone help me
In april i kept getting really dry throat etc, Then developed a cold, then post nasal drip constantly!!! I was given 7 days of Co-amoxclav then it still has not gone so i went back to my GP he priscribed (prescribed) another 10 days of 500mg Co-amoxclav, then After symptoms did not diassaper he sent me for sinus x-ray this confirmed Thickend Mucus membranes at which point my DR refered me to a ENT. Saw the ENT three weeks ago who after allery testing confirmed non-allergic rhinitis. He prescribed a nose spray called Nasex. I am still suffering with terrible headaches like a pressure like pain across my forehead, Thick clear mucus, occasionally it's yellow ish. I have resigned from my job as I have been taking too many sick days and im really at my wits end. I have tried many different brand of antihitimines and I have alos tried many herbal remidies including apple cider vinigar and I wash out my sinus daily with baking soda and sea salt. The only temporary relief I get is taking Sudafed.
Forgot to mention that when i saw the ENT I also had a CT scan, The results only showed slight thickening............................ I also get a pain in my neck underneath my ear lobes that feels like my ears are full................occasional face pressure both sides (although never at the same time!) Please plase can anybode help me im getting desperate im not due to see the speciallist until November again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT TAKE ANYMORE OF THIS HEADACHE
