Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / June 2004When blowing your nose too hard!
Is it possible to blow your nose too hard and thus cause possibly more swelling to your turbinates? If so then how do I get rid of all the crap up there in the morning, (I usually blow it all out when in the shower although I do blow very hard) And I do have a sinus irrigator but I don't use it yet! cheers Dave when you blow it should sound like th mating call of a bull elephant and should be loud enough to frighten away any potential burglars. seriously, any pressure over 5 PSI can be harmful - as in PERMANENT deafness. The advantage of pulsatile irrigation is that you don't need much pressure to remove the thick mucus and you can set the irrigator = about one inch high - at a known safe level and keep it there.
