Sinusitis Causing Apnea

[endrun]

It appears that my breathing is impaired , messing up my digestion too, due to mucous buildup mostly in sinuses.   I tried the nasal sprays and that didn't cure it.  CT scan showed a mild infection.  The symptoms have not gone away and my quality of life has been poor for months.   I do have a deviated septum but that isn't the whole story apparently.  The mucous buildup appears to be the worst part of this.
  I have not been put on antibiotics. I was considering surgery but it was not presented as mandatory due to the mild level of infection.  
I was on a CPAP machine years ago but that was horrible and I never got a decent night's sleep with that method.  
  Anyone have any insight into this situation?

Thanks friggy.  I will be sure to give this one a try.

Had the same problem, and fixed it. The infection is in the upper sinuses, where nasal sprays won't reach due to gravity, and antibiotics don't reach due to a lack of blood supply.

As the comments will verify, this works very well for your diagnosis.

Same things as the rest of us? Sinus rinses, humidifier, raising the head of your bed, and smiling when you want to bash your head into a wall because of the pain? lol
Seriously though, other than the aforementioned or surgery, there isn't a whole lot that can be done...except all the nasty steroids and such.
Try the Alternative therapies forum...they have some great ideas.
