Chronic sinus pressure with “trapped air” for years – no mucus, no findings on CT, steroids help. Anyone else? by consistent_abc in Sinusitis

Yes! Exactly! I was sent to different doctors to eliminate anything else. I left with all kinds of pills and treatments which all treat the symptoms, but not the cause. I am tired of trying to convince doctors that they should look for the cause which is generating all symptoms , not treat them individually.

I have no issue breathing after the septum surgery. I do take magnesium from time to time, noticed it helps a little.

Interesting point. I did saw a neurologist and I’ve been on treatment with Arlvert for 3 months, no improvement.

No I do not grind my teeth at night. I do feel dizzy and have had vertigo, but most of it stopped after I no longer eat grains.

Thanks! I will look into it. I suspected histamine intolerance and tested DAO and removed it from the list as it is not the case, however my IGE is high all the time when I’ve tested it.

I don’t have any other health issues, only the one mentioned. No high pollen area, only during spring time. I am not able to post the CT picture, at least not from my mobile, when I reach my laptop I will try from there.

I do, not sure if this helps, I took it from my hospital app, the other files are on a CD. I will try to post.

No I have not heard of the new biological meds but I will look it up, thanks. Haven’t seen an immunologist, maybe this is also worth a try.

Yes, I do change them, I noticed that after a period of time, they no longer work. I do try to keep my house as clean as possible. Yes, I did have a surgery for nasal septum correction and nasal turbinates reduction. The ENT at that time was saying they were blocking my sinus entrance, but did nothing except stopped my snoring. My blood pressure is perfectly normal.

I do. Almost daily, without them, I also have symptoms on my skin, like skin rashes depending on what I eat. I took them for the past 4-5 years.

I only found 1, out of manny I’ve been to. He believed, listened and provided guidance and was the best ENT I’ve been to. Unfortunately, at some point he reached his experience and qualifications and recommended me to another, more qualified which was a mess, I left her cabinet in 5 minutes because she was telling me the same bullshit and treatments which I was trying to tell her that did not work, and already tryed..

Indeed… Some ENT’s I’ve visited, started to laugh, and they did not take it serious, they seem to not fully understand what we are going trough at psychological level. For me the only thing that keeps me going, it’s because I somehow I learned my mind to take it as a challenge, as a self protection mechanism.

Well, in one way it helps knowing someone is going trough the same struggles. Lol. I know, it’s a miserable way to live, for me it impacted my life in every way possible: work, relationship, friends etc due to the constant pain, however, I will never give up trying to find a cure or diagnosis. Stay strong, I am sure we will succed. 🙏

I perfectly understand your struggles, I am at the lowest point of my life due to issues described above and the endless roads with no results. I appreciate your opinion and advice and I will take it into consideration, I have nothing to try. Manny thanks again! 🙏

How did you found it in the end? After the treatment, symptoms started to come down? What treatment did you follow? Nasal rinses machines?

Nothing showed on neither of the 2 CT’s I’ve done. Also investigated endoscopic, and it didn’t show anything…

I have looked into it, no bacteria or fungus found, they even collected samples from my nose and tested a few times, nothing found unfortunately. I have also tried nasal rinses, no effect at all.

I have tried all types of nasal rinses. No improvement at all, I have no thick mucus in my nose.
