Sinus Draining Down and Sinus Headaches and How to Stop
#1
Tongue 
[size=4][b]Sinus Draining Down - Sinus Headaches - How to Stop Them[/b][/size][hr]Most people recognize the symptoms of a sinus headache from the very start. It causes congestion and pressure in the facial area around the eyes and cheeks and even throughout the forehead. They may be caused for any number of reasons but one of the worst causes of sinus headaches is sinusitis, a problem with swelling of the sinus membrane. Many people misdiagnose a sinus headache as a migraine. This is a common mistake because they do share a lot of the same symptoms, with a few noticeable differences such as a sensitivity to light and noise. Wink

[size=large][b]These Type of Sinus Headaches can be Caused by a Number of Different Problems[/b][/size][hr]You could get them as a result of colds that you are experiencing, bacterial infections, allergies and structural damage to the sinus cavities either through deformities or injury. There are a lot of other symptoms which may accompany the sinus headache, especially if sinusitis is present. This would include fever and a discolored discharge from the nasal cavities. You may also be experiencing a lot of nasal drainage into the throat which may cause you to cough.

[size=large][b]So If You Suffer from Sinus Headaches, See What can be Done to Ease Them[/b][/size][hr]There certainly are a lot of things, from neti pots to natural cures that you can try at home on your own. Don't overlook the possibility, however, that antibiotics may be just the thing that you need in order to overcome the sinus headaches and get some relief.

Sinusitis is at the root of your sinusitis causes headaches then you may need to seek medical attention. There are some natural cures, such as taking apple cider vinegar or grape seed extract but your doctor will probably want to get you on a program of antibiotics as soon as possible. It might also be necessary for more serious treatment to take place, even including surgery. This is typically only done if the situation has become extremely chronic or if there is some kind of a blockage, like a polyp or scar tissue. The good news is, many people experience great relief after these treatments have taken place. People always think that they know everything about everything; however, it should be known that no one is perfect in everything. There is never a limit to learning; even learning about Sinus Headaches.

[size=large][b]Regarding Surgery, Dr[/b][/size][hr]Josephson was a pioneer in the procedure called FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) which is now considered state of the art. This procedure uses an endoscope for both a diagnosis as well as during the surgical procedure. This gives the surgeon an excellent view of the area being worked on, and thus there is less bleeding, more accuracy, and packing is rarely necessary, which is very important. He says many of his patients simply go home and go to work the next day. I would have liked him to comment about endoscopic surgery using lasers as well, but he didn't make mention of that technique. People have told me that this laser procedure worked exceptionally well for them. Dr. Josephson is obviously totally committed to FESS, however, and with the micro tools he uses, he apparently is able to keep bleeding and pain levels low for patients, as is the case for endoscopic laser surgery. He also makes no comments about a new surgical procedure called sinuplasty, which is similar in concept to angioplasty. I would certainly like to hear his opinion of that new procedure.

Quote:He wrote at length about new research developments, especially the remarkable work done by Mayo Clinic researchers regarding the effects of fungus on sinusitis. Although the results are still somewhat controversial, this team has shown that an atypical immune response reaction to fungus in certain people to common fungus might be the root cause of sinusitis. The theory is growing in popularity and new topical anti-fungal medications are being developed.

There has been a lot of progress made in the treatment of sinusitis in the past 5-10 years, and Dr. Josephson's book puts it together and brings us up to date. 'Sinus Relief Now' is certainly a great reference for anyone with CAID problems. There are descriptions of just about every medication used in any of the treatments, both prescription and OTC. I learned several things I didn't know before. For example, I didn't know that antihistimines are only effective against allergies. I thought they would simply prevent excess mucus forming in any case. Also, Dr. Josephson feels that decongestants should not be used long term but only for a week at a time as he believes they can cause problems if used for long periods. In general the book is almost a reference work for any type of respiratory or digestive condition. All sinus sufferers would do well to read 'Sinus Relief Now' and then to refer to it any time problems come up. It is the best sinus book I've ever read. It is rather inviting to go on writing on Sinus. however as there is a limitation to the number of words to be written, we have confined ourselves to this. However, do enjoy yourself reading it. Wink

Also included in the book is a discussion about the validity of alternative therapies, like acupuncture, holistic medicine, and chiropractic, for example. I think this is useful, and in fact a niece recently told me she had acupuncture treatments for her sinus problems and she was excited about how much better she felt.

[size=large][b]The Five Step Plan that Dr[/b][/size][hr]Josephson recommends is presented at the end of the book. The steps are: 1. Take care of your sinuses through proper irrigation. Writing is something that has to be done when one is in the mood to write. So when we got in the mood to write about Sinus Treatment, nothing could stop us from writing! Wink

[size=large][b]Clean Up Your Environment[/b][/size][hr]Be vigilant about food choices Take your medication (i.e., take the entire prescription) Embrace life-altering changes and enjoy your health. Isn't it amazing how much information can be transferred through a single page? So much stands to gain, and to lose about Sinus Treatment through a single page.

He emphasizes that eating the right foods can make a big difference, but he isn't totally dogmatic about it. I was turned off once by another book in which the author stated that one must simply give up certain foods if they wanted to get over sinusitis, and these included cheese, chocolate, wine and all other alcoholic beverages, among other things. For a person like me who lived for several years in France, this would be unbearable. I might mention that for a French person it would be unthinkable. Ignorance is bliss, is it? Isn't it better to learn more than not to know about something like Sinus. So we have produced this article so that you can learn more about it!
