Re: Sinus Blockage
i think that this may be a sinus problem. If nothing is coming up on the scans and test then it may just be chronic sinus blockage. Your nose may not feel stuffy and blocked because it is not your nose that is blocked but your sinus cavities (air spaces inside your head connected to your nose). Sometimes when our sinuses are blocked the mucous trapped inside becomes stagnant, this causes it to become hard, thick and sometimes infected. When this mucus finally gets loose, it has no real way of escape accept down the back of your throat. this then causes your throat and chest to become infected because you swallow the mucous unconciously. You may then experience symptoms such as coughing (especially when the mucous sticks to your throat), wheezing and whisling (if mucous clogs up your windpipe).
Nasal rinses work quite effectively for temporary relief of blockages. If you this 2 to 3 times daily the thick mucous inside your sinuses should loosen up and drain.
You could also try inhaling steam to really loosen up any dry, thick, persistant mucous.
Remember not to eat or drink too many dairy products as they thicken your mucous and drinking lots of water and eating healthy is a must for any persin
Hope this helps and good luck.
