Eye pulsations and sinus infection

[Ca05]

For about 4 years I haven't been able to breath through my nose, my doctor's been a bit ambigous saying i have an infection, x-rays showed fluid in my upper sinuses. She mentioned nasal polyps. I've been on antibotics twice, but neither time helped. neither has nasonex and she advised me against surgery...
Recently I've been feeling as if the infection/ polyps (whatever the cause) has been moving upwards, (by the facial pressure i feel, it's higher up than it used to be) and over the past two days i've been having disturbing twitching pulsations in the eyes, and somtimes in the lids close to eyes- near the...punctum lacrimale, on the upper lid near the tiny holes (i know nothing about it, I googled an eye diagram.)

I can both see and feel the twitch/pulse. It's a disturbing wiggle in my eye lid near the...small holes...and the eye itself it's getting the best of me!
Can this be due to stress? eye strain? or is it an upward movement of my sinus polyps/infection. I plan on seeing my doctor but it will take a few weeks, hopeful some input here can ease me...or tell me what to do about my eyes for now. theres no pain involved, and the pulses don't seem to follow my heart beat.

Thank you so much for the advice and options. The pulsations, which i believe, were perhaps twitches are gone now, (with the finishing of my final exams...ehe) My sinuses, although still messed up, are letting in slighttly more air.
I havent tried that technique yet! But i have decided to try and rid the infection forever in one large combined effort of saline solution products including a new saline mist and your technique. So thank you!

You are in a tough situation.  If you have polyps in that area, then surgery is going to be too risky (you have an excellent doctor), and antibiotics are often not effective in the sinuses.

I am going to mention a technique that will remove the infection, at least.  Since the sinuses are a medical frontier, I don't know what other side effects you could have.  My theory, unproven, is that polyps are caused by chronic infections.  Hypertonic saline does shrink swollen tissue, so it may help with the polyps, or may not.  Like I said, it's a risk you have to assess on your own.  I took a risk when I developed this technique, and my messed up sinuses now work marvelously, and I can only wish you the best.

The other risk I always mention is that you have to bend over in a shower, to defeat gravity (which is why most saline irrigations fail), but you can also do it outside on soft ground.
