Guest Belinda Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi Potsy pals..I wish Ihad something posotiove to say but I feel like poop. On top of having the pothole problems(weakness etc). I STILL have these problems with my nose and throat throbbing and burning and occasional shortness of breath...and chest constriction. ENT and GI continue to tell me it has to be due to my autonomic problems..Well to even further my despair I found out that Grubb's office cancelled my appt. for the 13th because I saw Bev last month so they considered that my Initial consult..CAN WE SAY I am a little ticked?? The secretary then called me back and fit me in for the 24th for a 1/2 hr. I feel like my wind is being taken from me every couple of minutes..it is such a funny feeling in my throat.SO thanks for listening to me vent but I have had this up to my eyeballs .Any ideas on the nasal burning /throbbing and why I could feeel like the wind is being knocked out of me???And wnything I might do to get me though it??Besides cut off my nose or body from the lower neck up????BEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi Belinda, It's nice that they think this is from your dysautonomia, but can they not give you something to help ease things off? Grr... Have you tried cold compresses or ice packs on your face for some temporary relief? Drinking ice cold water? I'm sure you've likely tried just about everything by now! Wish I could help.

Jacquie802 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi Belinda, wish I had some advice to offer you. Hang in there!Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be Still Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Bee, sorry to hear of your disappointment, that must be tough. I'm glad they got you in later in the month.Please continue to pursue all avenues for breathing relief, it can't all be Dysautonomia.You're working hard to get better and it must be frustrating to not have better results. Keep trying. Einstein said, "I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right." We can't expect to have better results than Einstein. (Preachin' to myself, here.) Hang in there and keep up the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sally Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I would suggest you get another opinion from a different ENT or pulmonary physician. Have you had a CT of your sinuses? If you are using a nasal spray, that could also possibly cause problems in the sinuses if you are having some strange reaction to it.

mom4cem Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 That's very frustrating indeed. I would suggest another ENT also. It could well be a combination of dysautonomia and allergies or sinus issues. This weather has done it for me and things have not yet bloomed and I have stuffy nose, dry throat, burning eyes, feel like I can't swallow and chest tightness. I think they are a combo of dys. and seasonal changes.Hope you are doing better today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miriam Poorman-Knox Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I don't know where in Ohio you live. We in Pa have a major problem with strep throat right now. Its been on news reguarly and the health dept is encouraging folks to get checked. The deal here is there are alot of "carriers" of which I was one. Its because folks tend to stay here not move soe .......You might want a culture. The other thing for me that was a problem is sleep apnea, since I have my c-pap machine its BETTER. Good luck Miriam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
