Hello
I just want to explain the way this nasal drip that affects me continues every day its clear and very sticky i got some relief from steam and neti pot but this last while nothing seem to stop it completely and dymista spray is doing it no good, I got blood tests and operation for deviated septum but no good the specialist has given up i think they seem to think its got to do with atmosphere allergies as i was tested for every thing. would anybody have this mucus nearly all day now thankfully its stops when i go to bed, I was thinking of giving a kinesiologist to see could they figure out would it be a intolerance to something, would anyone got any help from this treatment,

I have this as well ..It started about 2 years ago .I am 56 . Like you i have been to several Drs . Last year i got a cat scan that said i have chronic sinusitis and deviated septum. I never had a sinus issue before ? The mucus is driving me crazy .At first i thought i was having an issue with my lungs but that was ruled out . The mucus is white and thick and i dont really have any cough but i can feel and hear a wheezing in my throat ..I too use neti pot prescribed sprays ect..this sucks . I was tested for allergies as well .I tested negative ....This may sound crazy but when this all began I had a panic attack i went to the hospital thinking i was dying and my blood pressure was 250 . I am now on bp meds ..Ever since that day i have been bothered by this . Not sure if there is any connection . Have you also had a spirometry ? I have had a few .They are all good

No it is just a breathing test to rule out asthma or other breathing conditions . I also drink apple cider vinegar with the mother . I put a few capfuls right into my bottled water . I find it to be helpful A lot of people find turmeric helpful as well . My Dr. said the sinusitis is triggering the lungs to produce mucus as well . I have days where i feel like i have a dry cough (non productive ) i think that is even worse ..I can feel it but i cant get it out .. I do not ever recall having any sinus issue before .I have no pressure ,No headaches Just the post nasal drip ..My ct scan stated i had chronic pansinusitis I guess thats when all the sinus are inflamed or infected . If the mucus is thick u need to use a humidifier at night and drink lots of water , I tend to ignore things that are not quick fixes .When the Dr told me to drink more water I rolled my eyes ,But when i do ,it helps . if you are not using vinegar ,Go get some .. it will say" raw organic apple cider vinegar with mother" All supermarkets have it .

Thanks so much for your useful tips, I have this nightmare for 7 years+ i do a bit of farming, I am exactly the same as yourself i was told to drink loads of water i try to and it does help and does steam and the neti pot but all this treatment would take up my all my working day i am going to try a kinigolists when this covet 19 clears up, I know exactly what you are going through i would sat its some air born allergies the dr told me that working at farming i would need to were a mask 24/7.I will try apple cider vinegar, please use the neti pot often as it helps me and get kosher salt its the purest.
