I’m hoping someone can share my symptoms - so around 6 weeks ago I started suffering with sinus pressure which seems to be more on the right side.

I don’t get headaches from it just slight pressure feeling in the head from time to time. My gp gave me antibiotics incase it was a sinus infection which I doubted but tried anyway. This didn’t work and I’m still suffering now.

It’s not constant but get it around 5 times a week. I always wake up with a full feeling nose but it goes after an hour.

Thanks

    Yes, I live with this, but it is allergies ( which can feel like an infection). It is very windy this spring here in CA and I'm miserable. Yes, you wake up with it as the gunk fills the sinuses and eustacian tubes during the night. I take allergy meds before going to sleep....nasal spray ( Flonase) and fortunately, we have an adjustable bed, so I keep my side up on an angle. Good luck. It is miserable. I've had allergies since I was a young child and you get used to be stuffy and always having tissues handy.
