Constant sinus

Posted by naney @naney, Feb 4, 2021

I have an issue I’ve seen no one write about. I’ve been to 20 drs., had cryotherapy and innumerable drugs and rinses. My left sinus is constantly running a thick sticky mucus. I can’t go anywhere,do anything....live. It makes breathing difficult. The morning is the most difficult as I’m so stuffed and have to really work to clear my head. An ideas? I’m really desperate!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Support Group.

I can empathize as I have the same issue. When I had sinusitis surgery 20 years ago it alleviated the problem in my right sinus but rendered my left sinus at about 80%. Since then my left sinus has gotten worse and is visibly inflamed. I was informed to take Clonazepam or an antihistimine. They are not long term solutions and no-one has had a real answer. Since it is just my one sinus and it is inflamed I am going to research balloon sinuplasty. Did you ever get an answer on your problem?

The above drug should be Flonase not Clonazepam.

Have they checked you for AERD/Sampters Triad?
Took 7 years for my diagnosis.
Wish you the best.
