Sorry everyone, I haven't logged on since posting.
I still struggle daily with sinus pressure, post nasal drip and fatigue and currently have thrush again.
My findings are symptoms are alot worse with bad diet. I have had a CT scan wereby the ENT said he can only see inflammation with no known cause, he suggested allergies but i don't think so. I purchased a blood glucose reader but my blood glucose always remained in normal range, even after large sugary meals so I knocked it on the head and ditched the reader.
I'm still left baffled as to what is causing my struggle, I use steroid treatment everyday with pretty much no effect. I'm confident that after sugary snacks my sinus pressure is worse, I wen't to see an immunologist whom done a few allergy tests which all come back negative.

I have Sjrogen's syndrome and have the exact same problem. It took them years to test me for it...The only thing you can do is change your diet because doctors are clueless and can not help you. Also, one allergist said I have many allergies...yet I was tested by another one and they said I had no allergies. So allergy testing is not very reliable. Heart palps can be an indication of food allergy. Start a food journal. Sometimes I don't react for 2 days to something I ate. I am 62 and have had this since I was in my 30's. One thing that does help me is to drink a carrot juice and/or a green juice drink daily. I bought a hurom juicer and it's really easy to juice carrots with it. I use a Vitamix for my green juice. Vitamin A is supposed to help with mucus membranes.
