Wheezing

[Sinus_probs_UK]

I had radical endocsopic sinus surgery 3 years ago. I had extensive 3 hour operation in which the ENT Dr stated I had disease in all my sinuses. All of my sinuses were operated on & the sinus cavity behind my nose was opened up to aid draining. Since then I have been tired all the time & now developed a intermittent wheeze. I think I may have had some more growth and had a CT scan awaiting a review. I have now developed pain in my sinuses again... is anyone aware of a herbal way to reduce growths? has anyone else developed a wheeze/ intermitten fluid in the lungs post surgery? Anything I can do about being tired all the time? Getting me so down.  My bloods have generally been normal, ESR & CRP get raised when I get these chronic infections... I am convinced something else is happening... how can my sinuses cause me to feel so weak?


This discussion is related to Constant cough, post nasal drip, and swollen sinuses and throat.

It's very common for the sinus infection to come back after surgery.  In fact, the best sinus surgeon in New York City wrote a book about his continuing chronic sinusitis.

Wait until your CT scans come back, and do everything the doctor says short of surgery.  The Flip-Turn Sinus Flush, for an infection that does not include physical blockage in the sinuses, will wash out almost all infections.  If you've already tried sinus irrigation and failed, it's because gravity prevents saline from reaching the upper sinuses, where chronic infections like to hide, and where surgery often comes up short.  The flip-turn defeats gravity.

The Flip-Turn Sinus Flush is mildly risky, because you have to bend over to do it, preferably in a shower, but you can also do it outside on soft ground.
