Energetic622730Jun 14, 2023
Hi I’ve got a long list of sinus issues: -Extremely restricted breathing, mainly wise in 1 nostril. The severity varies up and down through the day due to allergies. Constant runny nose and extremely loud nose when I blow. Constant post nasal drip. Constant itchy nose (inside and out). Very bad congestion for about 1 week each month. Feels like I have a full cold. Constant dry and cracked inside of nose. Previous surgery to remove nasal polyps (about 15 years ago)
