Sinusitis Medicines and Common Sinus Pressure Symptoms
#1
Sad 
[size=4][b]Sinusitis Medicines - Common Sinus Pressure Symptoms[/b][/size][hr]Sinus cavities are a very important part of the body. Infection or inflammation in the cavities can cause immense pain and pressure. Sinus pressure refers to the pressure caused by an inflamed, infected or mucous filled sinus cavity. Sinus pressure symptoms are similar to symptoms of a common cold which do not respond to common medication which is usually given for a cold. Sinus pressure can also be caused due to an allergy of some kind. People living in dusty areas complain of sinus more often.

[list][*]Far more severe sinus pressure symptoms are terrible headaches, pain or pressure in specific areas of the face and redness in the eyes.[*]Bulging and painful eyes also occur if the sinus infection occurs around the eyes.[*]In some cases, the patients also have double vision or even temporary vision loss.[*]A persistent cough (especially during the day), fever and fatigue are also symptoms of sinus pressure.[*]The most common symptom of sinus pressure is facial pain.[/list]

Some of the most common sinus pressure symptoms include severe nasal congestion and yellowish green discharge which is thick because it contains pus. Pain in the teeth is also very normal. This pain increases when you bend over. Symptoms may vary however, depending on the sinuses involved. Even if you are a stranger in the world of Sinus Remedy, once you are through with this article, you will no longer have to consider yourself to be a stranger in it!

[list][*]Sinus pressure symptoms normally occur for about ten days and they may carry on for a longer period if a cold or flu occurs.[*]They normally worsen after five to seven days.[*]In some cases fever also occurs.[*]Fever is more common in children than in adults therefore it is not a very reliable way of diagnosing sinus pressure.[*]Rare complications along with sinusitis can produce additional symptoms, which may be severe or life threatening.[*]It is very important to treat sinus pressure symptoms quickly before they get unbearably painful.[*]A substantial amount of the words here are all inter-connected to and about Sinuses.[*]Understand them to get an overall understanding on Sinuses.[/list]

[size=large][b]There are Four Main Sinus Cavities in the Body[/b][/size][hr]They are located on either side of the nose, behind and in-between the eyes, and in the forehead. Each sinus cavity has an opening into the nose for the exchange of air and mucous. When the cavities get filled with mucous it creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Nasal Congestion is the substance of this composition. Without Nasal Congestion, there would not have been much to write and think about over here!

[size=large][b]Got Carried Away[/b][/size][hr]I have 14 sinus buster tips here that may help you avoid serious sinus infections, sinusitis or other sinus problems. It's a myth that sinus infections are only seasonal. Sinus infections can occur more often in winter when houses are closed up and not getting the proper ventilation. But seasonal allergies affect people more often in the spring and summer months. Some people suffer all-year-round. Many don't know why.

[size=large][b]If You Suffer from Allergies and It's Allergy Season, Try to Give Your Sinuses a Break[/b][/size][hr]Keep your windows closed at night. The peak time for many allergens is between 5 P.M. and 10 A.M. Using our imagination has helped us create a wonderful article on Sinus Infections. Being imaginative is indeed very important when writing about Sinus Infections!

[list][*]You have to travel or don't have access to irrigation, then carry some saline nasal spray with you.[*]It won't reach the sinus cavities but it will provide some moisture in your nasal passages.[*]It may not reach your sinus cavities however.[*]Use it several times a day.[*]We have not included any imaginary or false information on Sinus Problems here.[*]Everything here is true and up to the mark![*]You can use hot compresses to relieve some of the swelling and help increase blood flow.[*]This may not be good if you have a sinus headache. [*]Get plenty of exercise, especially outdoors to get good blood flow to the sinuses and clear your nasal passages. 7.[*]Make sure your bedroom air isn't too dry at night.[*]Air it out in the daytime if possible.[*]Problems occur when the sinuses dry out for any reason.[*]If you find you get nosebleeds at night or wake up with them, then the air may be too dry in your bedroom.[*]The most common cause of nosebleeds is lack of moisture - air that is too dry.[*]Some people use humidifiers but these can cause mold and moisture problems in your house also.[*]So that would be a last resort.[*]You'd want to get the kind that is 'bacteria free'.[*]Even the beginner will get to learn more about Sinus Buster after reading this article.[*]It is written in easy language so that everyone will be able to understand it.[*]Drinking iced drinks like iced tea and any drink containing ice will not help and can actually aggravate your sinus problems.[*]However if you have a full blown sinus headache, you may find a cold, all-fruit smoothie made with fresh and frozen fruit, will help it.[*]Suppressing our knowledge on Chronic Sinus Infections is not our intention here.[*]In fact, we mean to let everyone know more about Chronic Sinus Infections after reading this![/list]

[size=large][b]Make Sure to Get Enough Sleep[/b][/size][hr]Prop yourself up on pillows to restrict sinus drainage from entering your lungs at night. You don't want to get pneumonia, This is a dependable source of information on Sinuses. All that has to be done to verify its authenticity is to read it!

[size=large][b]Use Daily Saline Nasal Irrigation[/b][/size][hr]Use nasaline or the neti pot. Don't add baking soda, hydrogen peroxide or anything else to the solution. There is a lot of misinformation floating around the Internet; these substances can irritate and even damage the lining of your nose and sinus cavities and if you think you had problems before, you could certainly have then now. Saline solution only. A sinus buster! We have avoided adding flimsy points on Neti Pot, as we find that the addition of such points have no effect on Neti Pot.

[list][*]Make sure your home is ventilated as much as possible in the winter months.[*]Air it out when you can.[*]Use air cleaners and especially use an air cleaner in your bedroom at night.[/list]

Some advice has been to take hot showers, but I would only recommend this unless you have proper filtration, otherwise you're inhaling chlorine fumes and whatever chemicals are still left in the water. You can try inhaling steam with distilled or spring water over the stove with a towel over your head but irrigation would be much better. We have included some fresh and interesting information on Sinusitis. In this way, you are updated on the developments of Sinusitis. :o.

[list][*]Get tested for allergies including pollen and dust mites. 13.[*]Avoid inhaling dust, new or old household dust; avoid smoke and all fumes.[/list]

Quote:There are four pairs of sinusitis in our skull namely- Frontal sinuses, Ethmoid sinuses, maxillary sinuses and sphenoid sinuses. Normally, instead of creating any problem, they help in many functions like providing insulation to the skull, resonance to voice and in reducing the weight of the skull. They are vulnerable to bacterial infection and when bacteria or other microorganism infect, one experiences some problems and the condition is called sinusitis. There are some symptoms of this infection called the sinusitis symptoms.

You will experience nasal congestion and there may be a discharge with thick pus, which may be yellowish-green or simply yellowish in color.You may also experience pain in teeth when you bend downwards. The symptoms may vary depending on the intensity of the problem.The symptoms may continue for more than 10 days and they worsen after 5-6 days from infestation. Sometimes patients may experience severe headache along with nasal congestion. They may also experience pain in some particular areas of the face.The eyes may appear red, bulge a little and may be painful.You may also experience some kind of irritation in your nose.Some patients are reported to experience double vision too.Fever with persistent cough is also a common sinusitis symptom.You may feel fatigued and experience a lack of response due to decongestants or antihistamines.Most common symptoms are too much sneezing, muscle ache, throat infection, and nasal drippings. Interesting is what we had aimed to make this article on Sinusitis. It is up to you to decide if we have succeeded in our mission!

[list][*]Generally, when you are infested by cold or flu, the viral attack causes some sinusitis symptoms but they are very common to all.[*]On the other hand, if bacteria attack you, the symptoms will not include flu or even cold.[*]If bacteria infect your sinuses you will have the following sinusitis symptoms:[/list]

[size=large][b]Sinusitis Occurs in Children, the Symptoms May be Different from Adults[/b][/size][hr]Since children are likely to develop ethmoid sinuses located near eyes, they would feel pain in eyes, facial areas, headache, persistent nasal discharge, daytime cough, and fever. Their symptoms become very much severe when they are 3-4 days old. Some children may also experience vomiting, irritability, gagging on mucus, and body pain. If such sinusitis symptoms are seen in children or an adult they must immediately consult ENT specialists to cure the ailment.

When I first started seeing an ENT specialist years ago for my sinus problems, I purchased a couple of books on the subject of sinusitis. When I mentioned this to my doctor and asked a couple of questions that showed a bit more knowledge of the subject than most people had, he frowned and had a worried look on his face. He then commented that having only 'a little bit of knowledge was dangerous'. I therefore appreciated the comments by Dr. Josephson in his new book entitled 'Sinus Relief Now- The Groundbreaking 5 Step Program for Sinus, Allergy, and Asthma Sufferers'. He stated: 'If your physician responds negatively to your newfound knowledge or is obviously uncomfortable working with a patient who is well educated about his or her disease, it's another clear signal that it's time to move on' (and find another doctor). I wish I had had this advice at that time, as the doctor eventually performed my first sinus surgery, caused me immense pain, and he didn't improve my situation at all.

Dr. Josephson says that smokers with CAID problems simply must quit. He has some appreciation of the difficulty of quitting, however, and offers some guidelines for that as well. Revision is very important when writing or speaking about a topic. We had a lot of drafting to do to come to this final product on Nasal Irrigation.

[size=large][b]One Point is Made Clear Throughout the Book:[/b][/size][hr]Like high blood pressure, sinus disease cannot be 'cured' in the sense that it is gone once and for all, but it can only be controlled. But with this awareness and being knowledgeable about one's problem, it is possible to control these health issues, and one can improve his or her life and not be forced to 'just live with it'. After reading what was written here, don't you get the impression that you had actually heard about these points sometime back. Think back and think deeply about Sinus Treatment.

The U.S. alone this includes about 70 million people who suffer from sinus disease, asthma, allergies, reflux diseases GERD and LRPD, as well as sleep problems like snoring and sleep apnea. Dr. Josephson believes that all these problems can be related for the simple reason that they all are associated with parts of the body which are directly connected together in the upper and lower respiratory and digestive systems. This is an interesting concept and is explained clearly and thoroughly in the early chapters of the book. Dr. Josephson discusses the symptoms of all these maladies and then offers a CAID test, which helps the reader understand which branch of CAID is causing his problems. He explains symptoms and possible treatment options in great detail for the various 'limbs' of CAID, sinus disease, allergies, asthma, GERD and LPRD, and sleep disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea. We tried to create as much matter for your understanding when writing on Sinus Disease. We do hope that the matter provided here is sufficient to you.

Dr. Josephson strongly emphasizes the use of nasal irrigation. He uses a sinus irrigation device every day, as do I. He also talks about using a neti pot for sinus irrigation, but I've used both and find the irrigator much more effective. I personally would not even recommend the neti pot method.

[size=large][b]Should be Mentioned At this Point that Dr[/b][/size][hr]Josephson is a well known and highly regarded ENT specialist and surgeon. He has several times been on New York magazine's 'Best Doctors' list. He has been an expert commentator on many local and national television programs, and he is the Director of the New York Nasal and Sinus Center. I personally believe this book should be part of the home library of anyone who suffers from what Dr. Josephson calls CAID, or Chronic Airway-Digestive Inflammatory Disease.

Dr. Josephson is a surgeon, and he pushes for a very conservative approach regarding turbinates. In the past many surgeons routinely cut out parts or even most of the turbinates in people. In recent years it is becoming apparent that this can have disastrous effects on patients over time, and there are many horror stories to read at the forum of the ENS Association web site. ENS stands for Empty Nose Syndrome, which is the term coined for this condition.
