Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / November 2005Sleeping with a scarf (non-fibre rich type) on my neck, I had much less sinusitis attack lately.
I feel my sinus is caused by cold air and dust. I live in the tropical, but it could get cold in deep of the night. Hope this help some sufferers here. :) >Sleeping with a scarf (non-fibre rich type) on my neck, I had much less sinusitis attack lately. >I feel my sinus is caused by cold air and dust.

An undershirt or even a sweater may help too if one feels at all chilled... I once had a doctor tell me that and I think he is right. Any sort of chill tends to cause me to cough too. I guess you Guys are right. I have been wearing an undershirt under my PJ top since I had a sinus infection 4 weeks ago. I am warmer and do not feel congested in the morning. I have low BP and I feel cold at night, so cold that I wake up and put another blanket on the bed. My doctor has run all kinds of tests and have checked my thyroid but everything is okay. I was always cold as a child too. shirley On 11/28/05 10:32 PM, in article 88tno1ho2qdk37gu6v4tp6ibqtfiakeo7s@4ax.com, >> Sleeping with a scarf (non-fibre rich type) on my neck, I had much less >> sinusitis attack lately.

Instead of warming up in the normal way, you sneeze, cough, hack, congest which does warm up your body but in a "crooked" way. This is why hot tea BEFORE you get out of bed is so important in such situations to avoid the AM symptoms which can start a cascade. Anything you can co to avoid the "crooked thermostat" from being triggered is good - whether it is warming the room, wearing a head cover in sleep, etc.
