Hi All,
I hope you are all well.
My name is Louise,
I'm 30 years old next week and I am mum to
two daughters aged 7 and almost 3.
My problems started a week before
Christmas I came down with a viral
infection that was not as bad as flu but
more than a cold! Over Christmas I felt
low but was well enough and on the 8th
January I came down with the same symptoms
again but much worse, headache, sore
throat, sore right ear, feeling sick,
dizzy. I recovered from this but got a
secondry chest infection!
I rung my doctor who wouldn't prescribe
Antibiotics as although my chest was
burning my mucas wasn't overly green
(sorry for being graphic!) Anyway I have
recovered from that thanks to Lemsip and
cough medicine!
My problem now is that I have an extremely
tight feeling in my nose, halfway down
especially when I go outdoors, it doesn't
affect me indoors, it seems to get worse
when I swallow! I have cracking ears, Post
Nasal Drip, temple headaches of an
evening, mild tiredness and sometimes a
horrible throat feeling, mild cough when
outdoors when I get the Post Nasal Drip!
I don't understand why my symptoms are
worse outdoors, can anyone explain? Also
does this sound like sinusitis even though
I don't have anything green going on? I do
suffer with Cattarh and my doctor says it
is heridtry, my Nan suffers as does my
mum! I have an appointment at my Doctors
on the 7th February and no doubt I will be
given the usual Antihystemine (Telfast),
Decongestant (Sudafed) and a Nasal Spray
which I hate taking!
If anyone can put my mind at rest I would
appreciate it!
Thank you!
Louise
