Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / January 2006Sinus Cycle???
Does anyone else have a cycle of sinus problems...mine goes something like this...good day and then wake up next morning with sticky clear mucous and then it gets worse throughout the day. By evening totally congested and headache. Hot tea, shower, etc. Next day bad with PND and clogged ears and headache. Hot tea, shower, etc. Next day okay...less PND and congestion...good day and then it starts all over again!! I'm 6 months post FESS (ethmoids, maxillaries and turbinate reduction). My nose was NEVER this dry before the surgery! >Does anyone else have a cycle of sinus problems...mine goes something >like this...good day and then wake up next morning with sticky clear [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >again!!

One thing to test for (among other possibilities) is to see if it depends on how much sleep you get. That is the major factor for me. I had a sinus infection in November and have been having the Cycle you are talking about, it is so frustrating. By mid afternoons my sinus feel good and the next day I wake up wth a sinus headache and nasal congestion. Useing Aleve for this headache. saline rinses, hot tea. I made chicken soup with lots of broth yesterday and had that for dinner and lunch. shirleyann >>Does anyone else have a cycle of sinus problems...mine goes something >>like this...good day and then wake up next morning with sticky clear [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > on > how much sleep you get. Nope, for my case, the sinus problem determines how much sleep I get. On bad days can not sleep until 3am and every few minute I have to get up and clean my nose, water drops from it. I am having enough of it, maybe some people are born into this world to suffer all sorts of ailments. > That is the major factor for me. >Nope, for my case, the sinus problem determines how much sleep I get.

Your problem is different then, and perhaps different from the original poster's (unless you are the original poster ( I cannot tell - the name is different). Does the watery flow occur on one side or on both sides? If it is one one side only, there might be something else besides the sinusitis. If you had sugery, did the watery flow occur before the surgery also? > >Nope, for my case, the sinus problem determines how much sleep I get.

I am not the original poster. Mine was like that, I sleep on one side, and the nose below forever go stuck ten minutes after I go to bed, so when sleeping, the nose on the top can breathe. When I sleep on my back, at night I might get into a dry throat and cough. I have never had a surgery or serious medication (except panadol) since I got this since childhood, and I am "used" to it, but if can treat it will be really great. Try Claritan for the PND. A jet of Afrin usually knocks out the congestion. Sinutab knocks out the sinus headache. Maybe use a steroid spray like Flonase to keep away the inflammation that will help knock out the other problems. There is some stuff on the market that you can place in your nose to reduce the dryness. This is something you have to keep working at. |
