Hello, I am 26yrs old, 5'5", 135-140 lbs., and have been suffering from chronic sinus infections for a couple of years now. I am currently stuck in a "spell" since late October and am getting really tired of this. Dr. says my ears are clear and normal, and gave me 3 days anti-biotics to clear up the sinus drainage. Didn't help me much so after waiting 2 months to see ENT, I am now on 21 days of anti-biotics with a ct scheduled after it finishes. The pressure isn't in the front of my face as usual, it feels like it is behind, or in back of my sinuses. I can't hardly get drainage through my nose, even with the sinus rinse. I can breathe through my nose, but there seems to be some blockage/ swelling in the back that is not letting everything drain properly. I have constant post-nasal drip that ranges from clear to yellow to brown to dried blood. The most irritating symptom is a pressure build-up in my ears. every jaw movement, swallow, yawn, brings on crackling and mini-pops. It feels like I need to pop my ears to relieve the pressure, but they won't pop properly. This is leading to compulsive jaw movements in an attempt to relieve the pressure/pain that I can't stop. I do not have TMJ and have had my jaw checked out and cleared as a cause. I get dizzy often, feel like I have poor equilibrium, and any time my heartrate goes up even a little, the pressure gets worse in my ears. If I try to workout it feels like I am breathing, but that I am not getting enough oxygen from it, and my ears get very full and painful. Drs say I am clear to workout, and won't give me any answers that help. I do have allergies, but have gone through the decongestants, daily allergy meds, nasal sprays, allergy shots, sinus rinse, and for over a year now as well as the anti-biotics...I need to get this fixed now.
