Vasomotor Rhinitis. Please Help.
Hi,To make a long story short- about 2 years ago I developed symptoms where my sinnuses would start to swell in the evenings/nights only on one side at a time. The only way I could relieve that swelling was to lay on the opposite side only to have the other side swell up. Afrin was the only thing that would keep my passages completely open for a full night of sleep.
I went to see an ENT about it and she immediately saw that I had a deviated septum. I went and had surgery for that and could breath much better out of one side while the other side was still swelling at night and bothering me. She wanted me to get an allergy test, which I did, and everything came back negative. She then diagnosed me with vasomotor rhinitis.
I have tried almost everything under the sun that is not RX to fix this problem and havent had much luck. For the last 10 days I have weened myself off of Afrin completely (from using 1 squirt at night for almost 2 years). I am going to my third acupuncture session today. The acupuncturist put me on some Chinese herbs called 'Fragrant Passage' along with a capsicum spray called 'Headache Buster'. The spray works decently, but not all the time. I dont know what to attribute the trigger to- whether its temperature change, humidity, pressure change or what... Have you seen my symptoms before? What would you recommend I take to get rid of this problem? Thank you so much.
