Can anyone give me an idea of what I may have occuring in my nasal passages
/ sinuses?

I never get a runny nose, nor do I ever get discharge. I do wake up every
morning with 'heaviness' abov the eyes, and if I bend over it throbs. I get
headaches consistently - and a lot of facial pain, jaw pain and also
sometimes pain on other areas of the head. Normally to one side.I also feel
sick when it's bad.

I know I'm sensitive to dust and that this triggers a reaction (starts with
a slightly runny nose ... but this usually clears quickly and the headaches
start).

My doctor is referring me to a specialist and saying that I may need my
sinuses drilling out to improve drainage .. but I'm confused .. to drain
what? My nose never runs, but it is always blocked. My main symptom is head
/ facial pain .. in fact, aside from the blocking issue .. that is the only
symptom.

Would surgery really make any difference? Or is there another way to stop
the aches? I use benadryl a lot as I also get daily hives, but I'm not sure
this actually helps the dust reaction / allergy.

I also get nightly 'arrythmias' ... when I go to bed and lay down, my heart
does funny rhythms ... I don't know if all these are related or not?

I have read on the hive forums that thyroid problems can lead to hiving, and
I've also read that thyroid problems can sometimes lead to arrythmia .. is
there any chance that sinus problems are related also to thyroid problems?

Apologies for the long winded post :)
