UNABLE TO KEEP EYES OPEN

[Pep7]

I was reading a lot of posts but they were from 2006 so I am wondering if there is anyone out there that absolutely cannot keep their eyes open???? I don't believe it is from any sleep issue and my eye exams are fine so my thought is that it is because something might be wrong with my sinuses. I have had this problem since I was a kid but it has so dramatically gotten worse that I am scared to drive, and I am even having hard time writing this now. I had a CT Scan of my sinuses but they said it was fine but I know that something is not right. I have never been able to fully breathe through my nose and I figured this out after I was put under for injections to my back and they had these two tiny little tubes put in my nose I think that it was just oxygen or whatever but when I awoke I noticed that while breathing through my nose the air felt like it was actually going all the way through my nose and not stoping at the middle, this was after the tubes were out, but for that one awesome day I felt a kind of breathing that I had never felt before, the only down side was that I kept feeling this tickle sensation in the right nostril which caused me to sneeze every 15 to 30 seconds the entire day. So basically I somehow feel that my not being able to keep my eyes open, not sleeping just closed eyes, really has something to do with my sinuses so if anyone can actually understand my scattered thinking and has similar problem or any advice please let me know.... Thank You so much.... Oh and I should probably also mention that for years, many years I cannot get up without getting light headed, nauseous and my vision going blurred enough that I can't move until it goes away which is usually a few seconds. It's not me getting up to fast, it happens even if I bend down a bit to get something from the fridge. Had a BRAIN MRI which was told everything looked ok so then I was told to drink more water which felt like it helped at first but does no help now. My main concern is about my not being able to keep my eyes open. Thanks Again................

Are you sleepy, or can't keep your eyes open?  You could have chronic dry-eye.  I'm not a doctor, btw, but when I opened my account here, there were 38 questions for me!  But I have dry eye, and it's a horribly painful disease

Just because you don' want to believe it, it very possibly could be a sleep disorder called narcolepsy!  As far as your sinuses, you need to have a nasopharyngeal scope done to see if you have polyps blocking your airway passage in your nose.  Typically a CT can miss many things (it missed my stroke, which was found on MRI), and being that polyps are small and your nasal passage swells from allergies, it may well help diagnose you! Good luck!
