mamapjama Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I have had this for YEARS. I can't stand it any more. When I went to my Dr. years ago she gave me nasal spray which did absolutely nothing. I ALWAYS feel like I have congestion between my eyes and always feel like congestion is running down the upper part of my throat in the back. When I swallow I have a few seconds reprieve but then I feel like there is a bubble or some kind of pressure and I have to contract my throat/nasal muscles in order to clear it. But it never clears, ever. My nose itself is never full, and I can't see anything in the back of my throat. Is this nasal drip? Some kind of sinus infection? I'm thinking this has gone on for at least 8 years :glare: I'm fed up. Any ideas of what this could be so I could finally take some steps to fix it?

JFSinIL Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Maybe try an ENT instead of your regular doctor???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dairy increases mucus production and can contribute to sinus problems for some. I know whe I drastically reduced my dairy intake, my sinus problems disapated.

Tree House Academy Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Sounds like my sinuses. Mine BLOCK instead of draining. My nose will be totally fine, but I will have pain up higher. I had to take an antibiotic (a really strong one) and when it finally kicked in, I drained like a fountain for a week. However, the pain went away and I have been sinus infection free for over a year now (I suffered with it for 5 years before the strong antibiotic). See an ENT.
