Nasal congestion

Hi all, I was just wondering has anyone else experienced excessive mucous congestion in the nasal/sinus area while being low with cortisol? Also I have had several endoscopic surgeries as well, not sure which is the cause.  Thanks for any insight.

I usually just get headaches, nausea and confusion... I can get more sick and that may mean more colds, but not automatically more congestion.

I had nasal congestion post pituitary surgery. I was recommended to use a nasal rinse - once a day for a few weeks - called NeilMed which worked a treat.

It is used ideally in the morning to "irrigate" the nasal areas which really means to keep it moist.
