I suffer from sore eyes, and a 'pinching' sort of feeling at the top of my nose between my eyes. It seems to get worse when its milder weather, or the heating is on. Bending over also makes things worse, albeit temporarily.\n\nCould it be hayfever or rhinitis?\n\nIt'd be good to hear from anyone who suffers similar symptoms, or has any idea of natural remedies which may help? I'm not keen on either the doctor or prescription medication!

If you're suffering now you're likely to be allergic to tree pollen.  Classic "hay-fever" is an allergy to grass pollen, which I suffer from, and comes on later in the year.  Prescription drugs turn me into something out of The Hills Have Eyes, so I can sympathise with your wish for something natural.  Homeopathic remedies worked for me for couple of years, but don't any more alas.  I got through last season with a eye drop remedy called Hay-Crom and Beconase nasal spray, but these rarely work for more than one season at a go -- pills like Clarityn stop working after a week or so.  Because you mention the heating it sounds like you may also have a dust or pet-hair allergy which is making things worse.

You might just have allergies, but I'm sure the doctor must have considered that and told you to try Benadryl, Claritin, or Allegra at some point.\n\nAntibiotics are appropriate if you have a bacterial sinusitis.  The particular bacteria might be resistant to whatever antibiotics they gave you.  You would need a culture of your snot to determine this.\n\nUltimately though, the problem probably started with poor sinus drainage.  Even with appropriate antibiotics, the problem will recur if the sinus drainage issue isn't resolved.  In the short term, Sudafed would probably help.  I don't like the idea of using Sudafed for more than a couple of weeks though.  If you have allergies exacerbating the situation (do you have a history of seasonal allergies, or any new pets?), then Benadryl or non-sedating Claritin would help.  For really bad cases, I know of a doctor that swears by the Neti pot (he uses it himself).  It's like a little watering pot for plants.  You fill it up with water or saline and pour it into your nose.  Basically you're physically cleaning out your sinus openings.\n\nIf there is a possibility you're allergic to something, I would try Claritin and the Neti pot first for 3 days and see if the symptoms improve.  If you don't think it's an allergy, try Sudafed + Neti pot.  If that doesn't do it, I would go back to the doctor and try another antibiotic together with the Sudafed + Neti pot.  VERY IMPORTANT: IF THE INFECTION SPREADS--YOUR CHEEK BECOMES RED AND PAINFUL OR IT HURTS TO MOVE AN EYE--GO STRAIGHT TO THE ER.  Sinusitis is normally just an inconvenience, not a serious health problem.  It can sometimes spread, however, and cause cellulitis in your cheek or an orbital abscess in your eye socket--both very serious conditions.

Whenever I look at the sun (not often, be assured) I don't seem to feel any sudden sneezes coming on. Perhaps your sinuses are shaped as to when you tilt your head back, you trigger a sneeze? Maybe it's temporary, because of a cold or bad sinuses or allergies.\n\nYou should try looking into the sun (not for very long) in the morning or evening when you don't have to tilt your head and see what happens.

go get some Reiki done and see if that helps.... also Cranial Sacral is really good for your nose drip because it actually moves the bones in your head to help oxygen and blood move more freely.... i would also say get some Acupressure done, it will help balance out your Chi and get you feeling better.... Also when i get like that i drink hot green tea with 2 menthol coughdrops and a bit of sugar or honey!!!! the heat will clear your sinuses and the tea and coughdrops will calm your throat!! it works for me every time, i promice :) good luck!!!

You may have allergies.  Hayfever allergies are worse in the morning hours.  It's because the pollen levels are highest then.  I've had hayfever all my life and find the mornings are worse for me.\nAs for the runny nose disappearing, I wouldn't know about that.  I've tried various allergy products and find sometimes nothing seems to help.  My nose just keeps running.

(You do know that you can test to see if your headache is sinus by bending over and back up quickly?  If it throbs, it's sinus.)  The reason I mention it is you may be giving yourself eye-strain via televion in dark or something.\n\nIf you get sinus problems in your home, it may be a dust mite allergy.  This would get worse in the fall and spring when humidity levels are best for mites to increase.  \nMy son takes tylenol-cold.  He used to take tylenol-sinus, but it is hard to find in childrens medication.  Any tylenol combo with a decongestant should help.

I don't know what to tell you. I have constant allergies so I feel your pain. I've been to many doctors about my problems and they all throw allegra or nasal sprays (which don't work cuz I have a deviated septum) at me. Prescriptions aren't worth it anyway because they're so expensive. I take Loratadine 10 mg daily also (which is generic Claritin) and it gives some relief. Also, I recommend(which I also do) you take Benadryl on very bad days (if you can handle it knocking you out all day) where the Loratadine doesn't quite do it for you. The only other thing I can think of, which I haven't tried yet, is homeopathic medicine. I have used homeopathic medicines in the past for my son and have had wonderful results. There is a company that I use frequently called Hyland's and they make a slew of homeopathic medicines for almost any ailment you can think of. They do make a homeopathic allergy medicine. You can start at luckyvitamin.com to check out homeopathic remedies or do a search for Hyland's homeopathic allergy relief/medicine. Good luck and I hope you feel better.

Sounds as if you have a bad case of flu or some other virus. Drink lots of liquids, hot honey and lemon is good, take aspirin and get plenty of sleep. If you're not better within 48 hours go back to the doctor, or if you get eyes that hurt in the light/headache or a rash go back to the doctor immediately. Cool yourself down with a cold damp flannel over your forehead. I think you'll be fine in a few days.

Firstly, I am NOT a doctor --\n\nBased on what I have read, though, I would definitely (and immediately) see a doctor, because there is always a possibility of this being a sign of a larger problem.\n\nGet to feeling better! :)

You don't mention if something happened to your nose.\nHave you been mashing zits?  Have you been snoring coke?\nHave you had a fight and got your nose clobbered?\nSometimes a person can sleep funny and their nose gets mashed up against a pillow or on the bed and hurts the following day.\nIs your nose dry because of the weather?  Do you have cold sores around your nose making it hurt?    Petroleum based products used inside the nose will help to relieve dryness.\nHope I have helped some but without knowing what is going on,it is hard to properly answer your question.

Sometimes I get the same feeling.I don't think you are allergic to anything.Have you eaten something today you don't usually eat?If you have I would try not eating it any more but if you haven't then try drinking lots of water.I think I know what you have.I think it may be dehydration.Ive had it really bad before and almost died but it doesn't sound like yours is that bad.So just drink plenty of water okay?Take care of yourself!!!

I don't know where you live but we have had a dry year and a half in Texas and it is killer on sinuses. All the things I have seen others post are good ideas but one thing they don't say is that if you have an infection and you keep sticking the same  saline nozzle up your nose you will never get rid of it. Just get it close and spray and take the tip off and soak it in microwave hot water to clean it and yes they do come off and snaps right back on. What I did was got a humidifier and it runs at night when I sleep to keep the moisture level up. I bet if you get a humidity meter and check yours in the house it is less then 35 to 40 percent and that's hard on the old snozz. Get a 24 hour allergy relief medicine like Loratadine (generic works just as good at CVS or any discount pharmacy store.) it is a life saver and don't forget to take it. it relieves sneezing runny nose itchy watery eyes itchy throat or nose and more. the saline sprays are good but always clean the tip and do not actually stick it in your nose. people tend to release it in there nose too and it just sucks the crap right back in the bottle.\nGood Luck!!

Try FEVERFEW!!! it's an herbal supplement that rescued me 10years ago...I was having them twice a month, & had jsut had a baby...couldn't crawl under the covers for a day or so to get rid of it anymore...so the hospital gave me Imitres...and promptly discovered I'm allergic to that....so talking to a friend, she told me about it & I started taking 1 capsule every day for the next 2 months...didn't have a single headache! Then it was almost 6 months before I got a vision disturbance (here it comes...) so I took another capsule & it went away, without ever exploding into a headache. Like I said, it's been over 10 years, & I've only had 1 mingrane since then, when I was out of town without my supply of feverfew.

Best thing to do would be to see an Ophthalmologist. You could be having an allergy issue, but it could be something much worse, and only a doctor would be able to make sure.\n\nGood luck

How long have you had these symptoms? It sounds like your body may be fighting some kind of viral infection like influenza. What is also very apparent is that your immune system is working overtime which is why you are experiencing the fatigue, aches, unstable body temperatures, over production of histamine (which may explain the nasal drip). For now, listen to your body: rest and hydrate. MED-LINE, WEB-MD, and the MAYO CLINIC, are excellent web-based resources for self-diagnoses. Remember it always better to have some idea of what's going on with your health prior to consulting a professional.
