My nose feels tight, which I guess is normal, my eyes are always heavy and swollen and the majority of the time one nostril or the other is blocked. I get very little relief from this and it is starting to have a negative impact on my life. Orbital pain is an on-going issues (pain around nose, eyebrows and under eyes.
