sinus congestion

anyone else have it? cause im getting it BAD this week. i have race tuesday that is really important so im in desperate need of some help. please!?!?

I have had it this past week and now I'm pretty much over it. Don't worry though because if it's an allergy or whatnot it will go away once you are outside breathing fresh air. I find that the best way to clean my sinuses is to just go for a run.

I have it all the time (I have a lot of allergies). As I write I am sniffling lol. I don't think it affects me too much, if it's allergies don't open your windows, and if it's something you get more than once get a sinus rinse.

Vicks vapor rub on the chest. Works every time. That and humidifier.

i have bad allergies. get medicine for night, and get some non-drowsy stuff for the day.

I have bad allergies too. I couldn't really breathe today while I was running.
Idk what to do about it though. Sorry.

You probably have hay fever and all the dust and pollen and stuff like that in the air is probably bothering you. I don't know if there is much you can do. My dad and sister both get hay fever pretty bad in the fall. They take allergy medicine and if it gets really bad they go to the doctor and get a shot. So get some medicine. Good luck with your race on Tuesday.

Oh and spicy foods will clear up some nasal congestion.

^ ya, the spicy food always works good for me. I dont have anything now, but i do get sinus congestion sometimes.

omg, i took mucinex and it worked only for about 30 minutes. this is a disaster. i can hardly breathe and i have to race tomorrow.

mine usually clears up with excersize. does yours?

well it does normally but this time i got it from exercise, so i dont know if it will cause i took the day off yesterday.

Sinus rinses work wonders!

arent they over the counter though? and what are some brands?

I use it every day when my allergies kick up, which is around 5 times a year for about 2-3 weeks.

okay. so how long is this gonna help? im taking it tomorrow.

Vix vapor rub over the night always gets rid of it for me. Anything you have to snort in your nose only stuffs the shit right back up your nose, it doesn't get rid of it.

i have vicks vapor rub and it normally works but this week when i tried it it doesnt.

It takes a few days to fully go through, but it helps immediately. If it doesn't appear to work right away keep with it, it should work after a few days.

thanks. i used a homemade one and it worked amazing. how often do i do it?

I only get allergies in the spring but I don't do anything about it. I almost never take medicine so I really can't help you on this topic.
