How to Relieve Sinus Pressure
#1
[size=4][b]Sinus - How to Relieve Sinus Pressure[/b][/size][hr]Swollen, inflamed sinuses are, to put it mildly, very uncomfortable. Sinuses get infected and inflamed through various means. Sinusitis is caused by allergies to something in the air we breath or even to the food we eat. Finding out what is causing the infection is the province of ear, nose, and throat specialists. Sometimes weather is a factor. How to effectively get relief is the subject of this article.

One of my favorite, immediate relief of symptoms of sinus congestion is the use of aromatherapy. A mixture of a few drops of lavender, eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils on a tissue and sniffed sometimes offer great, immediate relief, while waiting on sinus decongestants to kick in. It is only through sheer determination that we were able to complete this composition on Sinuses. Determination, and regular time table for writing helps in writing essays, reports and articles.

[size=large][b]There are Also Some Herbal Remedies that Sometimes Work Very Well Depending on the Person[/b][/size][hr]Some of these are: goldenseal, yarrow, garlic and elderflowers. These can be purchased at most health food stores as a tincture. There are many herbal formulas that are also available from the same source. Remember that it is very important to have a disciplined mode of writing when writing. This is because it is difficult to complete something started if there is no discipline in writing especially when writing on Sinuses

Another favorite method is to inhale steam by bending over boiling water with a towel around your head to 'catch' the steam. These methods are not intended to replace normal medical care by your health care provider but to supplement their care or to provide relief until your next office visit. It is only because that we are rather fluent on the subject of Sinuses that we have ventured on writing something so influential on Sinuses like this!

[list][*]Good multi-vitamin/mineral supplement is also a good idea with additional vitamin C and vitamin A.[*]See a health practitioner for other vitamin/mineral suggestions.[*]Proper digestion and the elimination of stress(as much as possible) is also suggested.[*]Although there was a lot of fluctuation in the writing styles of we independent writers, we have come up with an end product on Sinus worth reading![*]One of the things to do is to go on a minimal liquid diet or a water fast to see if the infection is caused by something in the diet.[*]If you get relief then you know it is something that you are ingesting.[*]Slowly resume your normal diet by adding a few foods at a time until you find the cause or go to an allergist for him/her to find the cause.

[size=large][b]The Sinus Headache is Unique in It's Location[/b][/size][hr]It primarily affects the face, but can also affect the entire top of the head if the sinus infection is left untreated too long. You can actually make the sinus headache hurt worse by pushing on your sinus cavities such as your cheekbones and forehead. I wouldn't recommend doing it though as the pain spikes severely and does not go back down for hours!

[size=large][b]Is Important to Drink Lots of Liquids to Help Flush Out the Sinuses[/b][/size][hr]Use a saline nasal spray a few times a day to try and open up the sinuses to help them drain faster. You may be quite nauseous from the sinus infection but do try to eat some soup and applesauce. You don't want to add a hunger headache on top of the sinus headache. Also sleep as much as you can. Sleep helps the body heal, and you can't feel pain when you're asleep! Perfection has been achieved in this article on Sinus. There is hardly any matter left from this article that is worth mentioning.Perfection has been achieved in this article on Sinus. There is hardly any matter left from this article that is worth mentioning.

I've read that sinus infections rarely cause sinus headaches, and I can't help but wonder if that author had ever experienced a sinus infection? I had unblocking sinus infections for over twenty years until I had sinus surgery a few years ago and an overly large turbinate was removed. I have not had a sinus infection, or very painful sinus headache for three years now. I can tell you though that from my experience with twenty years of sinus infections, every single one of them produced a sinus headache. If there is the slightest possibility of you not getting to understand the matter that is written here on Sinus Headache, we have some advice to be given. Use a dictionary! Smile

While waiting for your antibiotic to kick in and stop the pain, there are some things you can do to give relief from the sinus headache. Lie back and put a warm washcloth on your forehead, eyes and cheeks several times a day. Take aspirin, acetaminophen or ibuprofen also after making sure there will be no drug interaction with your sinus infection prescription. Use a hot steam vaporizer in your bedroom or lie down in the bathroom with the shower running on hot water. You can lie back in the tub with the shower running but I wouldn't recommend it as the pressure from the water hitting your face would cause the pain to be much worse.

[size=large][b]The Sinus Headache is Caused by a Sinus Infection or Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]Since there are several sinus cavities and locations, pain from a sinus headache may be in all or just a few locations. Pain from the sinus cavities is felt in the cheek area, above and behind the eyes and top of the head. Getting on an antibiotic can give relief the next day. This article serves as a representative for the meaning of Sinus Headache in the library of knowledge. Let it represent knowledge well.

[list][*]The pain from a sinus headache was slightly less painful, or as painful as a migraine headache.[*]Bending over made the sinus headache so painful that I almost passed out.[*]Slang is one thing that has not been included in this composition on Sinusitis.[*]It is because slang only induces bad English, and loses the value of English.

Quote:How many times have you heard someone say: "I think I'm coming down with a cold."? No doubt many times. In fact, most of us have'said that'or made'a similar statement, ourselves. Now a days when someone I know tells me that I usually reply: "Could it be allergies?" Because many of those "colds" are probably allergy reactions to the environment. As I look back to my childhood days one cannot, but wonder at the strong possibility that all those tablespoons of cod liver oil my mother faithfully administered----in their full natural flavor, as commonly done in those days--to prevent my getting a "cold," although not a bad idea'were probably unnecessary since'my frequent runny nose, coughing and'post nasal drip'were very likely'caused by allergens.'Even, perhaps, by'the thick smog'that'had developed in the large city I grew up in.

Several years went by and we moved farther North where carpets are more commonly used than in the Southwest and I began to once again have "cold" symptoms. At least that's what we thought at first. Since I was hardly using cow's milk and had resumed the allergy injections my wife'and I wondered, what could the cause of'the post nasal drip, etc.,'be this time. So I went back to an allergy specialist in our new area.'After doing some testing'he found'I was very allergic to house dust.'In the process of being given the allergy tests I found that not all house dust'is'created equal. Some dusts contain large amounts of dust mite droppings. This kind of'mites thrive in a humid and warm environment, like the one produced by the human body while lying in bed,'where the mites'eat mostly microscopic particles of human skin that rubs off there and on the carpet. The tests'did show'I was very allergic to that kind of house dust. Thereupon I was given minute instructions by my doctor'on how to shield my bed'from the'little varmints and their'droppings. The devastating allergic effects I was having'began to subside, especially when to my allergy injections was added the dust mite droppings antigen. It was at the spur of the moment that we ventured to write something about Sinus. Such is the amount of matter that is available on Sinus.

As I studied my sinus problem several years ago, I came to the conclusion that the two main causes of my problem were: some foods'and environmental allergies. Whenever I indulged in a milk shake or a large serving of ice cream I had serious post nasal drip in a matter of hours. And whenever I had a large glass of cow's milk 3 or more days in a row I had the same result. I would stop drinking milk for several days or stop eating ice cream and the sinuses would clear up in just a few days. The seeming correlation became so obvious that I finally decided, a number of years ago, to stop using these food items on a regular basis and, of course, the sinuses cleared up indefinitely. Sometimes, what we hear about Sinuses can prove to be rather hilarious and illogical. This is why we have introduced this side of Sinuses to you.

Then came spring time and as weeds and their flowers, and trees and their own flowers made their appearance once again in our area, the same allergic reaction I had had to the foods already mentioned, above,'began to reappear, except that' I wasn't using them. So, it became obvious that I was allergic to certain pollens and probably other allergens. I had pollen allergy tests made and sure enough there were a number of pollens I was very allergic to. With these results on hand the only alternative I had was:'move to a place where there were not pollens I was allergic to--probably something rather impossible--or begin to receive allergy injections on a regular basis. I opted for the latter.

[size=large][b]There can Definitely be an Allergy Connection to'sinus Pressure and Other Sinus Problems[/b][/size][hr]My case is not unique. If one is suffering from ongoing sinus problems it might not be a bad idea to consider testing for allergies to the environment and possibly foods, especially if your health insurance covers these tests.
