Hi
I just wanted some advice really as to whether this sounds like sinus issues.
I've had hayfever years and years and control it with a steroid spray through the summer months.
I've noticed over the last few years I seem to have more issues such as quite often pain in front of head when bending down low (more noticeable when I have colds) very dry nasal passages which if I put a tissue in my nose quite often there will be small amounts of blood on it. I think this must be coming from inside my nose and not my sinuses as when I do sneeze or blow my nose the mucus is clear.
My husband is also saying that I snore terribly. Now I'm overweight but I'm trying to lose weight and it doesn't seem to be helping. When I wake in the morning my mouth is dry I've also noticed that quit often when I use my spray for hayfever it really hurts like I've put salt on a cut that type of pain. It subsides pretty quickly but it stings like mad for a few seconds.
The reason for me posting is the last few days I'm feeling pressure in my cheeks and around my nose and eye areas.
I have been to the doctor a couple of times but have always just seen the nurse who tells me to inhale with steam.
Thing is I don't feel congested it's the complete opposite. I don't want to google as it will obviously pull through lots of horror stories but just wonder does anyone else experience this and if so does anything work to help with the symptoms.
I am contemplating the doctors but to be honest whenever I've read anything about sinus sufferers it seems a bit like fighting a losing battle.
thanks
