Sinusitis, acid reflux disease and Eustachian tube dysfunction

Hi
Thanks for posting the query
I have gone through the query thoroughly and understood your problem. I'll try my best to help you with this.
The symptoms described by you seems to be related to sinusitis, Eustachian tube block and acid reflux disease.
Sinusitis could be secondary to nasal allergy. Nasal congestion leads to blockage of the Eustachian tube (the tube connecting nose and the ear). Eustachian tube block leads to pressure inside the middle ear and later, accumulation of fluid.
The chest discomfort is because of acid reflux disease. When the acid from the stomach regurgitates into the throat, it causes inflammation of the mucosa of the esophagus and the stomach. The presence of inflammation in the esophagus causes chest discomfort.
My suggestions to you are:
1. Drink plenty of warm water.
2. Do steam inhalation 2-3 times a day.
3. Use saline nasal spray as frequently as possible. This helps in nasal decongestion and clearing off the secretions. Also, saline keeps the nasal mucosa moist and prevents drying.
4. Try taking proton pump inhibitors and prokinetics to reduce the chest discomfort.
5. Try using steroid nasal spray once a day to reduce the nasal congestion and ear discomfort.
6. Avoid chilled food and beverages, smoking and fizzy drinks.
Do not worry! These are not the signs of any cancer.
Hope I have answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.

Chest pain was on both sides in front of chest and my left side and back. Can acid reflux cause that much pain in them areas. The indomethacin seemed to help when I was on it . Sometimes I have little bit of pain when I breath but mostly just constant dull pain through out the days. Some mornings in the past I would throw up first thing in morning because of the sinus drainage or acid reflux.

1. Instead of Omeprazole try taking Esomeprazole which is more potent and has less side effects.
2. Use saline nasal spray as frequently as possible. This will reduce the nasal inflammation and burning sensation in the eyes.
3. Please don't use Zyrtec, it will worsen the dryness of the nose.
4. Jalaneti with neti pot is one of the best ways to relieve sinus block. Use 10gm of salt in a glass of 100ml XXXXXXX warm water. Too much of salt will worsen the dryness and cause more irritation.
5. Drink plenty of warm water.
Hope this clarifies your doubts. Wish you good health.
