Questions about neti pot and sinus problems?
Posted in General on 12/12/2009 11:26 am by HolisticLivingI am using a neti pot which helps greatly with my sinus pressure.
I have really bad allergies and I got dizzy too all the time from them. Sometimes hard to concentrate. I also get a ton of sinus pressure around my face and jaw.
Anything else that helps besides the neti pot? I really want to get rid of this dizziness and sinus pressure.
My doc gave me flonase which helps but not that much as well as allegra, but nothing seems to get rid of the pressure or dizziness.

You may actually need to have your sinuses drained, which helps for repetitive problems. What do your doctors think about that?
Other than that, a Neti Pot does help move the gook out.
I take Allergra AND Sudafed-D. Sudafed-D is a bit of a pain to get these days because of all the federal laws restricting its use, but there’s nothing like a decongestant for minimizing allergies. You can get it at any pharmacy, but you’ll have to sign all sorts of forms and show an ID to get it.

I use a squeeze bottle instead of a gravity neti pot, I find that it helps me clear out the mucus and build up a lot better. This has also helped with pressure and my tippy spells.
Other than that, I don’t know. I’m getting allergy shot, use Zyrtec & Benadryl, and are careful on the amount of dairy I eat since that adds to mucus production.
Maybe you should see about going to an ear, nose & throat specialist, they might be able to get a better idea of what is happening.
