Sinusitis Vertigo

[size=4][b]Sinusitis Vertigo - Sinus Laser Surgery "Changed My Life" Said One Patient[/b][/size][hr]Gentleman named Jason contacted me and said he recently had sinus laser surgery from Dr. Harvey Paley, whose practice is in Beverly Hills, CA. He said flatly that this operation 'changed my life'. This gentleman has had 3 other conventional surgeries in the past 15 years during which time he had lost his sense of smell and sense of taste. Hearing about such a success after a sinus operation is rare in my experience. I personally have had two of them, and they basically didn't work, since I continued to have sinus infections after both of them. In fact, I've heard of very few people who have had sinus surgery and who were pleased about the results over time. Smile

[size=large][b]This Type of Approach Seems to Make Perfect Sense[/b][/size][hr]That is, using laser and endoscope technology to limit bleeding and see clearly what is being operated on. The first question I had is 'why are there only a small handful of surgeons in the U.S. doing this operation?' It is not brand new, and in fact this laser sinus surgery was apparently pioneered by Dr. Daniel M. Schuman from Boca Raton, Florida over 10 years ago. Apparently Dr. Schuman has subsequently retired from his medical practice.

Asked this question to a gentleman from the company that produces the Sinu-Clear laser equipment, a company called PhotoMedex. He said there are many reasons for so few surgeons using the procedure, and most seem to boil down to the reluctance of people, in this case sinus surgeons, to change. In fact PhotoMedex is emphasizing different product lines of medical laser equipment, and the gentleman I spoke with was not optimistic about growth aspects for this procedure. To me this is certainly a shame. I personally have only spoken to one person, Jason, who has undergone the procedure, but he is extremely enthusiastic. I hope to speak to others and get more inputs. I can only say that when someone who has had 3 other operations tries sinus laser surgery and says he has finally regained his sense of smell again after 15 years, then this is worth taking note of, at the very least. The presentation of an article on Sinusitis plays an important role in getting the reader interested in reading it. This is the reason for this presentation, which has gotten you interested in reading it!

So when someone is as enthusiastic about his operation as Jason is, it is time to listen, especially considering his background of sinus problems. The operational procedure is called Sinu-Clear, and it uses a laser as well as an endoscope. The laser equipment also provides a steady stream of salt water to flow through the nasal passageways while the operation is taking place. There is apparently very little bleeding during the procedure, what are the causes of frequent headache? the tissue being operated on. Because of this there is no need for nasal packing, and this is a huge positive, as those of us who have gone through a conventional operation with a scalpel and had our noses packed can attest. For me it was just awful. The endoscope allows for good viewing by the surgeon, as the camera projects a picture of the nasal cavities being worked on onto a television screen.

[size=large][b]Sinus Infections or Sinusitis is an Inflammation of the Sinuses[/b][/size][hr]Sinuses are the hollow openings or cavities in the bones of the skull around the nose. Sinusitis is the swelling of these sinuses because of some allergic or immune reaction. This swelling causes air to be trapped inside the sinuses along with other secretions like mucus, putting pressure on the sinus walls. This pressure produces pain and a lot of discomfort, often referred to as a sinus attack.

There are also over-the-counter pain killers and decongestants that may provide a lot of relief. Decongestants may be in the form of tablets or sprays. However, prolonged use of these medications is not recommended. It is better to consult a specialist if the infection does not lessen. Cure sinus infections that persist for a long period of time may lead to formation of nasal polyps. A lot of relief can also be provided by surgically removing these polyps or correcting a deviated septum. These surgeries would open the airway in the nose and provide significant relief. Surgeries like the endoscopic sinus surgery are another way to provide sinus infection relief.

Sinus infection is a very common allergy that affects million of people throughout the world every year. Millions of dollars are spent for sinus medications and sinus research. Sinus infections may be because of some viral or fungal infections. In such cases, treatment should be provided for curing those infections. Even though a complete cure may take some time, there are many things that can be done to provide relief to the patient. There are many home remedies that provide a lot of relief: These remedies include inhaling steam, using saline nasal spray, applying gentle heat over the inflamed area, lying down in a darkened room, using a decoction of mustard seeds and water instilled in the nostrils, drinking juice of ripe grapes, eating jalapeno pepper, inhaling peppermint steam, applying a paste of cinnamon and water or dry ginger and water, and so on.

Herbal treatment for sinus like Echinacea (Echinacea angustifolia), is useful if taken at the beginning of a cold or the flu. Echinacea is not an antibiotic; instead, it works by stimulating the production of white blood cells, speeding up their maturation within the lymphatic tissue, and speeding their movement to the spot of infection, where they help battle the intruders.

Today many opt for herbal medication as seem to give long lasting effect to the treatment than compared to any other treatment in which the infection re occurs. Time and tide waits for no man. So once we got an idea for writing on Acute Sinusitis, we decided not to waste time, but to get down to writing about it immediately!

[size=large][b]Before We Could Go to What is Good for Sinus Let Us Learn about Sinus[/b][/size][hr]It is a cavity in the cranium that acts as a bridge between the nostrils. Inflammation takes place due to blockage of air. It is also called sinusitis. They are divided into two acute and chronic sinus infections.

[size=large][b]There are Also Many Treatments Which are Directly Distributed Into the Sinus Cavities[/b][/size][hr]These treatments are generally meant to help moisten the cilia so that it can flush out the trapped mucus and bacteria. Nasal sprays are commonly used and can be prescribed or purchased over the counter. The nasal sprays may offer some relief to the lower part of the sinuses but often times may not help the infection since their particle sizes are too large to make it past the inflammation at the opening of the sinus cavities and up to the sinusitis infection. The same holds true for a treatment called irrigation which distributes saline up to the sinus cavities. Irrigation is also very messy and generally unsuccessful in offering relief. Responsibility is what makes a person. So we felt it our responsibility to elaborate more on Saline Sinus so that not only us, but everyone knew more about it!

[size=large][b]Newer Treatment that is Used Nasally is Aerosolized Medications[/b][/size][hr]Aerosolized medications are used very much like nebulized asthma medications. These antibiotics, anti-fungals, and anti-noninflammatory are broken down into a small particle size so that it can pass the inflammation and make its way up to the sinusitis infection. Generally a small amount of these medications are used which results in little to no side effects in the rest of the body. Failure is the stepping stone to success. So if you do fail to understand this article on Sinusitis, don't fret. Read it again a few times, and you are sure to finally get its meaning.

[size=large][b]Sinusitis is Generally Caused by a Cold or an Allergy[/b][/size][hr]When a cold or allergy takes place, swelling of the sinus cavity lining occurs. When bacteria enter the sinus cavities, they attack the swollen lining which then causes greater inflammation. The cilia is a part of the sinuses which usually flushes out the bacteria and mucus. When a large amount of inflammation occurs, the cilia can no longer function as it should and so the bacteria and mucus end up becoming trapped in the cavities and as a result the sinusitis infection takes place.

Frequently, the symptoms of an acute sinusitis infection may include cough, congestion, facial pain and pressure, green nasal discharge, and postnasal drip. When the sinusitis infection lasts for twelve or more weeks it is known as chronic sinusitis and can have added symptoms such as loss of sense of taste and smell and fatigue may also be experienced. Other symptoms may also occur depending on which sinus cavity that the infection lies in. A sinus headache may also occur. A sinus headache happens then the inflammation from the sinusitis infection pushes on the nerves. Other symptoms such as upper tooth pain may occur because of the pressure also. Thinking of what to do upon reading this article on Chronic Sinusitis? Well you can very well use the information constructively by imparting it to others.

There are many options on the market which are meant to offer relief for sinusitis infections. It is important to find the treatment that works best for you and to treat the infection before it worsens and surgery is then left as the only option. Developing a basis for this composition on Sinus Headache was a lengthy task. It took lots of patience and hard work to develop.
