Hi,

This is typical of frontal sinusitis, get a x-ray of paranasal sinuses done. Till then take pain killers like Ibuprofen/diclofenac, do steam inhalation and drink plenty of warm water.

thank you ao much for that! sometimes i get this strange sensation in my head where the front of my head feels like its revolving and i thought i was going to fit. could this just be because not enough oxygen is gettin to my brain because of my nose? it made me feel sick and sometimes when i cant breath i get worried and feel quite sick.
thank you for your help. its been worrying me for a while i thought it could be a brain tumor or something really serious.

thank you

Hi,

If you are very apprehensive about your condition better get a MRI of the brain done, so you can have a peace of mind, rather than dying of doubts everyday.

Ayurveda Specialist Dr. Rajesh Lakhanpaul's  Response
i believe it is nothing more than sinusitis. steam inhalation with cap. Karvol in it will loosen the sticky matter and make the nasal passage patent.
cure your cold with medicines like maha lakshami vilas ras swarn yukat & godanti bhasam. To be taken with hot water. avoid exposure to cold or taking of cold things.
Tea made from ginger and tulsi also gives some relief.
consumption of hot milk with turmeric and honey in it offers long time immunity from cold.

can i just simply request an MRI from my GP or is it something he must decide first?
Ayurveda Specialist Dr. Rajesh Lakhanpaul's  Response
i believe you are not a medical professional. Let your GP decide on the issue. Feel better and relaxed. One should not always keep on thinking of diseases, think of health and feel the difference.
