“What Are the Side Effects of Decongestants?
Decongestants may raise blood pressure, so they are not recommended for people who have blood pressure problems or glaucoma. They may also cause insomnia or irritability and restrict urinary flow.”

If we forget the side effects for a minute, do they work? They didn’t work for me but I am only a sample of one, and I rather suspect that they didn’t work for you either or you probably wouldn’t be reading this page. I had great results with Joe Johnson’s sinus doctor which is completely natural and it really worked for me, but it is not as easy to use as the (OTC) medications and is more expensive, but I only needed to buy it once, you can click this link to visit his site.

The cause of all the unpleasant symptoms associated with a sinus infection is an inflammation of the sinus cavities, which are located behind the nose and upper face. The sinus cavities play a major role in draining mucus from the nose. When the cavities or sinuses become inflamed the available space is reduced and the mucus becomes trapped. It is the trapped mucus that causes the pain and pressure we call sinusitis.

Sinus infection symptoms usually include a thick yellow nasal discharge, headache, a feeling of pressure behind the face and quite often a feeling of tenderness around the eyes. In more severe cases you may even experience earache and pain in the jaw.

The sinuses themselves are more complicated than most people imagine. There are in fact four pairs and you will experience different symptoms depending on which are infected. For example, a pain around the eyes and lower nose is a sign of ethmoid sinusitis, while discomfort when bending forward or lying backward indicates sphenoid sinusitis. Similarly, pain while lowering the head could indicate a problem with the frontal sinuses and pain when the head is upright indicates maxillary sinusitis. While the symptoms may differ depending on which sinuses are affected, the sinus infection treatment will almost always remain the same.

The treatments used by most sufferers include prescription drugs, antibiotics and decongestant nasal sprays. However, it is worth questioning the wisdom of this, as many prescription drugs, including sprays are habit forming, have side effects and in the long term undermine the body’s immune system. While almost all home remedies for treating sinus problems are all natural and free from side effects.

Perhaps the favorite and oldest home sinus treatment is to fill a bowl with boiling water and inhale the steam through the nose while covering your head with a towel. The sinuses are aggravated by dry air so it is understandable why this particular sinus treatment would be beneficial. A modern variation on this old favorite is to use a vaporizer, you may find increased benefit by adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil.  You may also find that drinking plenty of warm water and eating jalapeno peppers helpful.

Many people people think essential oils or plant extracts are the only sinus infection treatment that really helps, see our sinus doctor review.

Balloon Sinuplasty ™ is seen as an alternative to functional endoscopic sinus surgery, which is the surgical procedure currently endured by 350,000 Americans each year, here surgical instruments are used to cut away and remove bone and tissues to enlarge the sinus passageways.

It’s said that a picture is worth a thousand words so a video must be worth more, watch this short video explaining the procedure:

Ballon Sinuplasty Video

While Balloon Sinuplasty ™ is certainly less invasive than functional endoscopic sinus surgery, the procedure is relatively new and the long term benefits and disadvantages cannot yet be fully appreciated.

For some it may well be the answer to their problem, but I personally would look at less drastic solutions first.  I had good results with sinusdoctor it may be a bit more inconvenient to use than a spray, but if it works for you, it is probably less inconvenient than balloon sinuplasty.

Hi my name is Christine Bayley, I suffered with chronic sinus problems for years. I seemed to be permanently on some kind of medication for it, either antibiotics or prescription only nasal sprays. I know it sounds dramatic but to me my chronic sinus infection was ruining my life.

Apart from the pain and general discomfort, I suffered unexpected nasal discharges which is about as embarrassing as it gets if you are trying to enjoy some special time with your husband.

A friend recommended sinus doctor, so after some research I tried it. The first day after using the treatment my sinuses were much clearer, within a few days my sinus infection was gone. That was over a year ago and I’ve had no signs of a sinus infection returning ever since.

Some Sinus Infection Discovery Customer Feedback:

Subject: sinus testimonial very satisfied customer

Hi Joe,

My husband is now on the third day of using your product. The one thing we did notice about the product is, if you have asthma you should always have your rescue inhaler nearby because it’s pretty strong and it caused him to do a lot of coughing, so I reduced the number of drops and he doesn’t seem to cough as much.

We love your product, and he feels its working. We can see a change in his breathing, and he’s sleeping much better.

My husband had 7 major sinus surgeries and refuses to have another. We thank God for giving you the gift of putting this product together and making it work.

He has been on every medication that’s been on the market, and this has been so far the best.

I have now used the sinus remedy that I purchased from your company.
As you may have surmised, my feeling of getting relief from any product was rather skeptical.

Be that as it may, I now have, without a doubt, proof that your products and system of eliminating a sinister sinus dilemma works and works well.

I will be forever indebted to you for assuring me and hoping that the benefits derived from the product will bring the desired relief.

Thank you and everyone for making “Sinus Doctor” available. It really works fast, well and without side effects.
Best Wishes

Hi there

Many thanks for sending me details of the web site again.

I have to say that I have suffered from sinusitis for about 18 years on and off. I have tried many remedies, and have had anti-biotics and different nasal sprays from ENT specialists, and I have to admit I was on the verge of trying surgery till I saw your web site.

Your treatment DOES work. It is wonderful.

My breath is fresher (and this is something that was beginning to depress me) and my headaches are less frequent.

Thank you so much.

Marian

My wife has been taking the treatments and is feeling better today than she has felt in 2 1/2 years.

Her doctor and allergist didn’t come up with a solution, but this amazing medication seems to be working.

With our best regards,

David

Sinus problems seem to be on the increase and are now affecting more than 35 million Americans each year. Our sinus infections are now big business. Americans alone spend over $5 billion each year on healthcare costs directly related to sinusitis, and there are a half million related surgeries performed annually.

But the medical profession know what they are doing, don’t they?

Well I assume so, and certainly hope so, but there must be some doubt as to the long term effectiveness of some of the “treatments” that some of their number recommend. Consumption of both prescription and none prescription drugs is at a all time high (as we’ve said over $5 billion a year) yet there’s no drug currently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic sinusitis.

My Success Story
I personally suffered chronic sinus problems for about twenty years; you could say I grew into it in my late twenties. I seemed to end up stuck on a merry go round of antibiotics and steroids, any relief to be had was temporary and when the problem came back it seemed worse than ever. Since I wasn’t really getting better and the side effects of both antibiotics and steroids were worry me, they were appearing increasingly in the news, I tried a “natural remedy”* and have never looked back. That’s what this blog is about, helping people find an alternative solution for their sinus problems.
