When it gets overcast my sinuses swell and I get a major headache. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this or relive the symptoms once it starts ? jon you should be checked to see if there is a blockage to your sinus openings. If the sinuses are blocked, this is a frequent complaint.

If the sinuses are blocked, this is a frequent complaint. My frontal sinuses have been operated on twice. Have also had my septum and tubinates done. When it's overcast like it was today it's pure hell. Very thick mucus with lots of discharge and a major headache jon > you should be checked to see if there is a blockage to your sinus openings.

Very thick mucus with lots of discharge and a major headache The thick mucus was already building up and the weather changes are just giving it a chance to discharge, I think. >The thick mucus was already building up and the weather changes are just >giving it a chance to discharge, I think. Nope. Nose was clear. When it happens it comes on like a ton of bricks. jon > >> you should be checked to see if there is a blockage to your sinus > >>openings.

Nose was clear. Your nose is not your sinuses. >When it happens it comes on like a ton of bricks. So? Don't say nope too quickly. After years of dealing with my chronic sinusitis for six years I believe I have a very good idea of what happens. Not saying I'm right all the time but most of the time. >Your nose is not your sinuses. How about if I stated it this way: It feels like the passageways between my nose and my sinuses close down to a very small hole / no hole. It is these passage ways that have been operated on 2X to open them up. >So? So.... nothing has an effect on my like this other than a major change in the weather. Nothing. jon > >>The thick mucus was already building up and the weather changes are just > >>giving it a chance to discharge, I think.

Jon, My sinuses also drain suddenly with a sudden change in the werather / humidity. They have for many years. I just think that the likely explanation is that the sinuses are shedding some of the stagnant mucus buil-up that is already there...... Try going swimming - I think that you will get the same effect..... Or possibly vigorous exercise..... >>After years of dealing with my chronic sinusitis for six >>years I believe I have a very good idea of what happens.

Go into the shower, and run the shower until you're breathing in the warm steam. That will really start your sinuses draining.  SignatureSteven D.

This is why I moved to Arizona. jon > >>After years of dealing with my chronic sinusitis for six > >>years I believe I have a very good idea of what happens.

I irrigate with the Grossan apparatus daily. There is just more mucus, and thicker, and even sometimes discolored, on bad weather days than on good weather days. My asthma is worse on bad weather days too--I can hear myself wheezing a bit, a sure sign of mucus clogging my lower respiratory tract. SignatureSteven D.

Right but I thought he was saying he had an instaneous discharge of a large amount of thick mucus on a sudden *change* in the weather. I did not think all of that thick mucus could be produced instaneously.... |
