Damn allergies

[powerhouse972]

Yesterday i started to notice that my nose was stuffed and it was running, towards the end of the evening i started to get a headache and i felt drained. I have never had sinus problems before so i am wandering if this is sinus related or a cold. I dont feel sick but it sounds like sinuses from what i have heard. Any tips to get better quick i need to workout today and i am having trouble making myself eat.

Afrin Nasal Spray will clear your nose right up. Use it sparingly though.

If it is allergies the combo of loratadine and pseudo-efedrine should do the trick.

an easy rule of thumb to distinguish between allergies and a viral infection (cold, flu) is the color of your mucus. if clear and watery it is probably allergies. if green and phlegmy, a viral infection.

i have allergies and have prescrition Flonase (nasal spray) and Allegra tablets which are quite effective. Claritin is now availabe over the counter.

What if there is blood? This happens to me occasionally. Sinuses???

this may just be a tear inside your nostril, like from blowing your nose too much. if the blood is not excessive i would not worry.

Nah, Its been going on for about 3-4 years now. It prob. happens 2 or 3 times a month. I only blow my nose like once a day when i get out of the shower. Thats not more than normal is it? I think its sinuses because my head stays stopped up alot. Ive been on flonase for about 2 months now and i havent really noticed any help.

i am not sure what you mean by "sinuses." maybe you mean allergies. sinus allergies would mostly cause runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes. mine were MISERABLE till i starting taking flosnase and allegra. they seem to have improved as i have gotten older.

being "stopped up" (congestion) is not a typical allergy symptom. as far as bloody noses, you may want to talk to your doctor.

i never had allergies or sinuses either... and lately my throat itches liek crazy and i have to do this stupid contortion wiht my jaw to make it stop... it makes me look liek a retard. While i even type this message i am snifflin. I htink its foreign chemicals in our bodys can trigger allergies also.
