Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experience and happenings.

1. Describe your main suffering? State the correct location of pain or suffering.

I have 3 problems. First is Sinusitis. I have deviated nasal septum and my right nostril has become very small due to that.
I have consulted with a few ENT specialists and one of them suspects that I have a polyp in my left side of the nose.
Although my left nostril is bigger but it is often fully blocked. Smaller nostril works better and is easier to breath with that.
It is relieved by taking Xynosine nasal spray.

My second problem is Urine dribbling after voiding it. One or two drops of urine come out after 5-10 minutes of voiding urine.

Third problem is I have GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease). I often feel heartburn and relieved by taking Omeprazole tablet.

2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?

Sometimes have backache (not often). Sometimes little pain in legs I think mostly in right leg.
A little over weight and not a flat tummy. I am 5 foot 11 inch and have 90kg weight.

3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?

I don't think any.


4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst? Describe the sensation in your own words.

I feel some swelling kind of thing in my nasal passage.


5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease? What was happening in your life just before these symptoms were noticed?

I am having Sinusitis for about 15 years. Urine dribbling for about 3 years. I had gallstones and remove the gallblader last year after trying Berberis and Chelidonium for about a year but no luck. I feel hearburn has increased after the surgery. It has been there for several years but wasn't that much.


6. What time of the day do you suffer the most? What time of the day /night do you feel most energetic and happy?

My all the problems are not time specific. They happen at all times of day/night. Although sometimes my sinus problem is better in open air but sometimes it doesn't change without having the nasal spray.

7. What are the things that aggravate your suffering and those that ameliorate the same? Example: time, hot or cold application, pressure, rubbing, washing, eating, tight clothing, sweating, walking, climbing, stool etc.

Sinus problem reduces some times in open air. I also feel better just after having food or exercise. I feel they make my nostrils open.

No
