Question Jun 25, 2012 at 07:27 PM

Hi people :-)

I have (among other things) Chronic Sinusitis, Allergic Rhinitis and a Deviated Septum (left side). I have noticed that when my sinuses get really clogged due to the high pollen count (or other factors) that I get this very intense loopy, foggy, "pressure" sensation in my head as if I was in a daze and can't think clearly. At times it feels like my brain is scrambled and my eyes get really buggy and unfocused.

It was like this for months during the severe allergy season we just came through and then let up for a little while but just recently I fogged a room (roaches) and once again my allergies began acting up again because of the chemicals. For the last 3 days I've had this horrible foggy, loopy, fuzzy, "pressure" feeling in my head along with buggy vision and just this afternoon (sorry to be so graphic) I could feel huge globs of mucous draining down from my sinuses and gradually all the fuzzy, foggy, loopy, "pressure" feelings in my head began to go away.

My question is this...does any of this sound familiar?. Is all of what I've described here pretty normal for someone with sinus problems?. I mean, the triggers, the way the symptoms develop/resolve with drainage, etc.

- Thanks, BlueJay

Yes ...sounds familar....I have been having issues as well and literally feel sick when my allergies act up. Almost feels like I have a mini flu. I have even gone so far as taking my temp. but of course there is none...just the darn allergies. I cannot believe how bad one feels. I used to think it was a joke the way people talked about their allergies but now I realize its definately no joke!

Wow, you sure have that right!. I always feel sick too and end up taking my temp throughout the day. It's hard to believe that allergies can make you feel this bad but my temp always comes back normal, bloodwork is always fine and other than having a great big "balloon head" and feeling like I'm about to lose my mind, I usually feel pretty good.

Thanks again for the reply!.
