Anyone having sinus or allergy problems?

[Lady D]

Is anyone else experiencing problems with their sinuses? The entire week we were on vacation I have been totally stopped up and stuffy sounding with a more on than off sinus type headache and pressure and achy in my ears. I was beginning to get that way before we left for vacation. And Wednesday evening while my husband and I were walking I got this horrible dizzy spell and did a major swaying to the right. I have kind of been a little off balance since. The entire time down I kept a more on than off sore throat, especially in the air conditioning. But you just about had to use it. Beginning to think there is fluid in my ears again. I've had this before. Was fine before that. This sucks.

LadyD...get yourself to a dr.!!!!

While I don't advocate antibiotics for everything, this is a case where you must get one. You may even need 2 rounds but get it taken care of. Seriously, you will feel so much better.

back Johnrudy, or is that Dr. Johnrudy? ;-) I don't mean to make light of anyone's medical issues, but I really do advocate going to see your dr. rather than looking for a diagnosis on a message board.

Same here. Just went to the Dr. yesterday...

I was diagnosed with a sinus infection. Dr. wrote an Rx for antibiotics and a cough suppressant. My wife's doctor said she had seen 28 patients this week with similar symptoms.

Yeah, I know I am going to have to go. Probably got gulf water in my ears. Ya know, like swimmers ear.

It's been so dry here. I think a lot of stuff is blowin' around. Chickabee in the wind...;-)
Sudafed is a life saver here. You do have to sign for it cuz some people make meth with it. :nono1: We use generic wally world brand. It dries up the fluid in your ears/nose. I don't think you're spozed to take it if you have hi bp though.

Lady D's story doesn't make a convincing case for antibiotics. Time and an OTC decongestant are probably called for. Way too many Z Paks circulating out there.

LadyD,

You probably brought it from Willie World with you. I live on Claritin D 24 hr stuff. Without it, I suffer big time.
