The body is normally fighting something all the time. Sometimes a chronic infection results in inflammation that slowly erodes the defences the body mounts on a daily basis. Again, this is a type of stress, and it can lead to slow/low immune response, hyper-immune response, and other problems. You may have won the battle with the sinus and it's history at this point. But something is going on and it needs to be discovered by an empathetic professional who wants to do this for your sake. It doesn't sound like your primary care giver is on top of this, and probably because it's beyond that person to be there. Again, you need an advocate, even if it's a good friend or child or sibling, but someone has to impress upon a competent authority that you need intervention, perhaps for multiple issues.

I am not sure if you have reached your limit with me but I just want to mention when I had cataract surgery I had to put a steroid and an antibiotic in my eye and at that time my adrenal rushes stopped until I finished the treatment only to start again after.. just sayin.
I cannot thank you enough for all the time you have taken for me..
I am not sure how I am going to get that intervention

I am in normal sinus rhythm since my last ablation mid-February. At the time, I was not on an anti-arrhythmic because I was not persistent...I was paroxysmal, meaning it came and corrected itself randomly. All I needed was a beta-blocker to keep a lid on the runaway rate of my heart because mine was usually north of 140 when in AF. The beta-blocker prescribed to me is exceedingly common, and almost universally reasonably well tolerated. The drug is called 'metoprolol'. me-TOP-pruh-loll.
A highly skilled internist or cardiologist might like to know about your experience with the steroid and antibiotic. It might ring a bell for that person.

Thanks for your reply..
I have been recommended to try antidepressants but i tried escitslopram but had hallucinations and trazadone which I find keeps me awake for along time and I still have the rushes.
I have been taking Ativan for years but they help a little.
I have tried alternative medicine such as melatonin ..gaba..magnesium .. ashwaganda ..cbd ..
I also have been diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea..
I use the cpac machine and still have the rushes…
I do have terrible dreams every nite and some I would say are nightmares..on a few occasions I can’t breath or try to talk but can’t.
This is just a few things I can think of for now ..
It has been going on for 4 yrs..
Hopefully you can help me ..

Have you seen an endocrinologist to check functioning of your adrenal glands?

I have adrenaline rushes starting every morning at 5.
Uncomfortable, almost sick-ish dreams start if I try to sleep more. This has been going on for three years, starting after a traumatic time in my life. I'm pretty sure anxiety is a factor, but meds I have tried do nothing for it.
It was particularly bad this am...(my birthday,btw) and I'm getting desperate for a solution...Thanks for listening.
