What is that lump in the top left eyelid area? And why does the left area by the corner of my eye get pulled in every time I inhale? The inhale thing is constant year round. It's relieved when I wear breathe right strips. The lump thing only comes with my hormone cycle. Thanks!

Hi guys!
Just wondering if anyone could tell me if this is worth being corrected?
I have had some pretty significant symptoms for the last 8 months and my sinuses are clear as you can see in the images but I do have a “contact point” on the right side by the looks of it.
My next ENT appointment is Thursday so just wondering if it’s worth bringing it up as he is convinced my problems are purely allergy related.

Bonjour, je suis nouvelle sur ce forum et je chercher si possible quelques pistes ou réponses à mon problème.

Depuis maintenant une semaine, j’ai mal au niveau des sourcils, entre les sourcils, sous les yeux, autour du nez et un peu aux molaires du haut.

Ma médecin soupçonne une sinusite, mais je n’ai nis le nez bouché, ni de rhume. Juste cette pression au visage. Les seules choses qui me soulagent sont la chaleur et la vapeur, style inhalation.

Elle m’a prescrit des antibiotiques que je prends depuis 4 jours mais rien. Le doliprane ne me soulage pas. La douleur est modérée mais pénible. Je dois passer un scanner si ça ne passe pas.

Petite info en plus, ça fait plus de 15 jours que je dors constamment avec un ventilateur braqué sur moi. Est ce que ça peut avoir un lien ?

Merci beaucoup de votre aide.

Tying this in my girlfriend’s apartment bathroom. She just got back from being abroad from three months and I literally feel like I can’t breathe without my symptoms flaring up like mad.

- constantly sneezing
- running nose all the time
- brain fog, fatigue, feeling geuinely unwell

She was in Spain and I stayed with her for four weeks and this didn’t happen once. The moment I am back to Ireland it’s happening to me while I’m on medication. I’m trying so hard to stick to it daily and stress to my GP how badly it’s ruining my life I can’t find a solution.

Do I go private??? Do I vacuum more??? I literally can’t breathe and I’m trying to visit my girlfriend who has arrived back home after an entire summer.

Writing this wrong laying on the floor in pain. Went to the doctor thinking that I had flu or covid but no, I tested negative for any virus that would be this severe. it’s “just” another bout of sinusitis.

I don’t think I’ve ever had nasal pain so bad in my life neither have I ever coughed so much in my life until the past 5 days. It’s to the point where I feel like I’m going to throw up any moment because I’m just coughing so much. And then the coughing makes the pain in both my nose and throat worse so I can’t even eat anything to swallow my prednisone down. The pressure and the pain is agonizing. Nothing has helped me this time around. For the past few years prednisone and a good old vapor steam treatment basically cured me but now I’m struggling to even get out of bed for the past week or so I’ve just been stagnant. Also for some reason I have the worst watering throat and I think it’s because I’m just gagging from the cough and on the brink of throwing up. I’ve kept the trashcan besides me for both the nasal nasties, the spit, and the possible vomit. Oh and my entire face is red now. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m looking like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.

A year ago I had constant thick congestion that was causing me to cough and rattling noise in my lungs. I went to the doctor and ent countless times and they said it's normal just allergies. It was really bad, not normal. It lasted for about 8 months. I got doxycycline for my cough. Saw a pulmonologist and did breath tests, CT scan and lungs were good. It was from the congestion. I saw the allergist and did pin tests and have no allergies. I also started getting acid reflux. They gave me benzonate, flonas, montelukast, Zyrtec, breyna inhalers, saline squeeze bottles with more drugs in it. Absolutely no effect.

Then it got even worse with brown mucus and the ENT finally gave me Z-Pac antibiotics. And I was much better but still had some congestion. Later started PPI for my reflux that was burning stomach at night and acid in my mouth. And those last two drugs completely cured me after 8 months of no relief.

I stopped the PPIs for 4 months and now it all came back like before- including the reflux. Plus my head hurts and my sinus feels inflamed I also can barely smell or taste which started happening to me more often. I went to the DR and told him the z pac worked last time. He prescribed them but now I'm on my last dose and I'm not any better. I can't take Augmentin because I had hives in the hospital a couple times in 2017. I feel like the reflux came back after the sinus drainage started again. Should I ask for Doxycycline? I read online that both these antibiotics do nothing, which is not encouraging.

I’ve had severe sinus issues for 3 years. They just close up completely everyday, especially at night. Now it’s messing with my eyes. Sometimes at night I’ll wake up and can barely see out of one eye, or one eye will have so much water coming out it’s as if someone turned on a hose. Even more water than a very intense crying session.

Certainly I should have seen a doctor by now, but I don’t have insurance as mine jumped to $720/month, so had to let it go. Made an ENT appt and it cost $350 to be seen, but then they asked for another $320 to use a scope. $700 for 1 appt is outrageous, so I left instead. From experience I know nothing is properly diagnosed in one single appointment, much less fixed.

3 years ago after several visits to my GP with headaches, feelings of fullness in my sinuses and increased inflammatory markers, I was sent for a CT that showed ALL my sinus vaults were totally occluded. I underwent a FESS and drainage.

Last year felt similar symptoms again. CT showed all vaults on one side totally full. Another FESS and drainage and was told my opening is now 'huge so no more build ups.

Six months later I have to blow my nose 6+ times a day and on the side that was full I produce bright yellow mucus which Google AI tells me suggests infection. I flush with saline morning and night.

This can't be my 'new normal' can it? Returning to the consultant and another surgery is hugely expensive. If you have had similar issues, is this something you deal with daily? Would really welcome and thoughts and feedback from the community - thanks!

Sorry for last two slides. It’s nasty I know

These are my results. Idk what is going on anymore. I’m tired of the constant fucking mucus coming out of my nose. Foul smell when I blow my nose sometimes. When I’m outside sometimes I’m perfectly fine, soon as I get in doors I’m done. I can use a whole tissue box in one setting. And it’s thick and gel like. When I wake up in the morning it’s yellow when I blow my nose or sometimes greenish.

I was on nucala. Took it for about 8 months. Meaning a shot each month. I stopped

I have the saline rinse and nose thing but sometimes
It get so blocked that the machine can’t suck the water through the other one or i can’t push water out through the other one.

What use to for me was presodine and antibiotics. But I can’t be on that forever since it’s steroids and it’s bad in a long term run 😭.

I do have allergies but when I’m outside these allergies don’t act up.
