So since about 4 weeks ago I have had never ending sinus/cold type congestion.
My face hurts - around my eyes and nose. I'm also constantly bunged up and most days I wake up with a sore throat/cough & blocked ears which take a while to clear - sometimes half the day.
Cold weather seems to make it worse but its becoming abit of a bane of life.
Mucus and snot builds up in my throat and nose when I talk for long periods, making it quite embarrasing in a work situation.
I googled - I know I'm silly! and sinusitus came up and although this is a relatively common condition it says it seems to be more apparent in people with a weakened immune system. Of course this started the alarm bells ringing and I instantly associated weak immune system with cancer or a similar un-diagnosed disease.
The other thing that came up in relation to the symptoms was lung cancer - this is another worry although I do not smoke - I did when I was younger but mainly socially.
Anyone got any words of advice/comfort?
I'm off to the doctors next week about it hopefully :scared15:
