hello, i have been suffering from clogged right sided sinus and same side head pressure, seems to get worse when i eat certain foods which increases, it is the worst feeling and very uncomfortable at times may feel somewhat dizzy. I just got over a cold and felt somewhat relieved from the pressure, i dont know if i should see a ENT, what could be triggering this,, i feel like since ive been on the antibiotics it worsened, dont know what to do. any suggestions in tears at times!

When I experienced this it was my lymph system.

But, we are all so very different so I am not sure what yours is.

I am very leery of ENTs since I have lyme. I really only trust doctors that are very familiar with lyme now.

But, that is me. I just want them to have knowledge of lyme before they do anything to me.

Could it have something to do about the right side of your jaw? maybe some dental work or cavitation?
I would only go to biological dds to check on my jaw

I used to get sinus infections until I stopped eating gluten. I did an allergy test that showed I was allergic to grass. Wheat is a type of grass. On occasion, I eat a piece of bread hoping I got over the allergy, three days later I get sinus congestion. It takes days to clear. Now I buy everything gluten free.

If it worsens when you eat certain foods - you may be reacting to those foods. Make a list of the foods that you react this way to, you may see a pattern.

Are you taking decongestants? Taking them regularly will help to clear it out, usually.

Since being on antibiotics my sinuses have been horrible. I know this for a fact because, on doctors orders, I went off of my meds and all my detox supplements for a few weeks in October and then again in December when I went on s bachelor party trip (Oct) and Disney trip (Dec). Prior to these trips I would be stuffing Zyrtec. Afrin, saline and everything else into my system to try and release the HORRIBLE pressure. Within one week of eliminating all medications, my sinuses completely cleared BOTH times and I felt pretty good. I had to go back on the meds and the problems came back, although not as bad. I know this does not explain WHY this happens, but at least you know you are not alone.

It sounds like you are having histamine intolerance issues. Foods that produce histamine should be avoided. One very important factor in this is eating fresh foods only (no leftovers). I went through this early 2015 and it was a pain cooking everyday, but I only did it until my issues resolved.

Thankyou for all the info, I will be coming off the abx, in a few weeks after 4 mos of tx of doxy and azithromysin, hopefully will resolve, I think yeast overgrowth has something to do with it also, makes everything so sensitive smells, food, i guess detox is a must to reestablish good bacteria hopefully wont have all the food sensitivities. and inflammation.
