Hey everyone. For the past month or two, I have been dealing with some pretty nasty sinus issues. I am just getting over an opiate addiction (been clean a week..eeep...) so I have no idea if it is the withdrawal or something else...
It all started in January. I would always get really bad sinus headaches. Nothing would make these go away. I figured once I quit the drugs maybe things would start to clear up. The headaches finally started to go away. I started to take a lot of sudafed. I thought things were clearing up. As soon as I would stop taking the sudafed I would get the same horrible sinus pressure headache.
The place I use to live at before was dark, smokey, and had pets. I moved and thought things would get better. A few days after I moved here I noticed my throat hurting. I thought this was strange. I had my tonsils and adenoids removed via emergency surgery when I was 18 about 5 years ago. I had not had any sore throats after my surgery. I did start to feel mucus building up behind my throat though...
I look up stuff online it appears that I probably have a post nasal drip or something that is not draining right. I try hard to hack up whatever this is behind my throat. Lately my mucus I do cough up is pretty bloody. I know this can be because my throat is irritated. I have not really had much of an appetite since I moved to my new house which was about a month ago.
The mucinex is not working. I'm in the middle of starting over my life no insurance etc so like i can't afford to go to the doctor. Is there ANYTHING you guys can recommend for this sinus crap? It is driving me mad. It just does not want to go away....Has anyone ever dealt with something like this before?
