I have had a long history with sinus sensitivity and in the last 7 or so years, it has consistently showed up in Oct and Feb [according to my GP’s record].
Most times i have the post nasal drip that requires me to clear my throat frequently [can be annoying in an enclosed space] or I may cough till I gag…
Sometimes though it gets full blown…extreme pressure headache [literally cannot use my brain or walk around too much], infection with slight fever, and the post nasal drip that does not allow me to sleep.
I am just getting over a bad one, thankfully, though it has been 7 weeks and infection had already set in, I did not have the crippling headache. This time though the facial sinus cavities were so filled with air that one sac was actually stretched and very near my upper dental area – which aggravated my already sensitive teeth. Dentist could not do anything for me b’cos the sensitivity just got me squealing every time he tried to do something. He took an x-ray and showed me the details.
It occurred to me, later, like communities of life, which sometimes intersect very closely, when one community is sensitive, another community gets affected. When some communities get impacted, congested, other communities feel the effect. Conversely, when some communities are flowing freely, other communities feel the effect.
So sinus can affect my teeth, the ears can irritate the nasal sinus, the eyes get itchy etc.
This better be a good lesson because it caused well 800 SGD when the specialist put a scope down my nose and told me what I already knew.
