Well....as an ALLERGIST/IMMUNOLOGIST I can tell you no doc worth his/her salt and interested in helping patients MAKES a patient wait, so it's likely as you stated your delay is your elective choice due to insurance issues.  Until then, you are taking OTC meds, some of which have side effects, but not really to a young person's kidneys.  For Benadryl watch for sleep cycle disruptions (you may get easily sedated to GET to sleep but awaken feeling "hung over" due to this!), and sudafed is the opposite -- stimulation, caffeine-like side effects (also therefore NOT a great choice at bedtime!).  For OTC relief until Sept., I'd recommend a non-sedating antihistamine such as Claritin or Alavert for AM use or PM use, with an added Sudafed for congestion if necessary earlier in the day (AM or PM, but NOT bedtime!).  Nasal saline washed 4-8 times a day are wonderful, zero side effects and very cleansing of nasal mucosal tissues, which helps avoid pollens from adhering to them, thus precipitating allergic symptoms!! GOOD LUCK!!! Let me know how you're doing (and where you're at...I'll let you know if your selected Allergist is board-certified!).

Good luck. Antibiotics have always helped. Don't ever wait to long to see a doctor though, the sinus infection could get worse and cause more severe symptoms.

What symptoms do you have?  If your nose is running all the time, try some antihistimes, if stuffed, decongestants.  If you have green or yellow discharge you need an antibiotic, call the dr definitely.\n\nIf it's allergy or just weather sinus, you can try different things.  Zicam is a natural zinc product you can get in Walmart or drug stores that helps open up and keep open sinus passages.  Cold-eeze brand zinc is good too.  Silver water is very good along with saline sprays to prevent stuffiness and keep sinus infections at bay.  Products like Vicks, that have menthol, even the cough drops are good for the nose and throat as well.  Robitussin makes a great light menthol orange vitamin C cough drop that give you your daily dose and helps sinus too.  I use those.  For eyedrops, if your eyes bother you with sinus too, try the "tears" formula's, because those help moisturize the eyes and flush out pollens.  Air filters help too especially if they have hepa filters, so do air conditioners.  If it's allergy related, you can also keep your mattress covered in plastic and use special hypoallergenic pillow cases.  Wash all bedding in hot water, take a shower before bed as that washes off pollens.  Also, vacuum you mattress, you'd be surprized at all the dirt and dust that comes out, do that before you seal it.  Good luck!\n\nPS I forgot, you can get a netti pot or nebulizer to use to flush the sinus cavities, netti pots cost about $8.00, Walmart and drug stores sell them.  Nebulizers cost more about $30.00, I use silver water in mine.

I wouldnt say its "normal", but you prolly wont die ;-) you might have a blockage. have you been sick reciently or had a sinus infection? Has it been like that for a long time or did it just start. Is it only at night (or when you are laying down)? You really need to go to the Dr. and have it checked out.

You may want to try using an allergy medicine that contains sudafed (pseudophedrine), like Alavert D. sudafed is a decongestant, so it should help drain all the mucus from your nose and head. if this isn't working and you aren't finding anything else that will, you should see a doctor as you may have a sinus infection. but no worries, they can fix it :)

Try putting a heating pad on your chest while you are laying in bed. That might make the muscles relax a bit.\nAre you sure that it's your heart that is hurting and not your lungs? You say that you have insane allergies and cold right now. A cough in essence is a trauma to your lungs. Any type of heavy coughing causes everything to bump into one another in there. Think of it as a blender effect. If you are at all concerned I would talk to your allergist. They might be able to perscribe something to help with the coughing and it might ease your pain. Definatley seek help because there also might be a more serious issue in there. Granted I'm not a doctor but you don't want to dismiss anything when it comes to your health. \nHere's hoping for you to get well soon.

Yikes, quick ask a doctor!  Sorry, but tightness in the chest is a serious symptom so don't look for an amateur explanation.

It sounds like you're having a allergic reaction to the nasal spray.  I'd definitely stop using it and go see your dr.

I have a 2 ideas for you.  First the mainstream/medical thought I have is that it could be allergies aggravated by smoking.  I myself just suffered with such a thing - chest cold, nasal, tough to get rid of.  My whole family had it, but I was first and last and it hung on until I gave up cigarettes - though I had been wanting to give them up for some time, this gave me the extra shove i needed to stop - I've been off now for 2 months (yay!)\n\nNow my personal philosophy is one of the mental and emotional causes of disease and discomfort (as described in Louise Hay's book "You can heal your Life") and according to her list of symptoms book, I would think that you are going through a tough time in your life right now.  These symptoms seem to say that you are not getting the attention and recognition you deserve and that you may kind of be at the mercy of others in an important area of your life.  The fact that the post nasal drip/runny now has been added recently shows that the problem could be escalating or you are just very tired of dealing with it.\n\nOften times when we are ill it is our bodies way of making us slow down and take time for ourselves.  Take the time - look at your life.  Try to identify the problems that are causing your physical symptoms.  Often times we can not change our circumstances (hard to quit a job when you need the money) but we can change our mind, our thoughts.  We can set a resolved to look at these things in a more positive light (i.e. my mother in law hates me, but it sure makes it easier to move out of state for both me and my husband because of it).  \n\nThere is good and bad in every situation and when we get stuck in the negative there is no way out and we get sick. If you email me I can talk to you more specifically about your situation, but you can do yourself the most good quickly and easily by quietly sitting and visualizing yourself feeling better - really see yourself happy and laughing, no trace of illness or stress.  If there is someone or something that is bothering you, imagine them or it just as you woud like it to be.  The more vivid the image in your mind, the better it will work.  Do it for 3-5 minutes at a time, 1-5 times a day, and you will feel better in 3-5 days.\n\nI sure hope this helps - this is what always helps me most.  I wish you peace and health!

Your first task is to find out why you do this.  Your doctor is your best ally here.  Once you find out why, then you and your doc can start to work on a solution.\n\nYou owe it to yourself to see a doctor on this one.  There are many possibilities, ranging from the benign (dust or an allergy of some kind), to the serious (sinus problems, throat or lung cancer, etc.).

Did the dr do a blood test to rule out infection, like a white blood count?  You might have a virus, severe cold, or infection.  You normally don't run a fever with allergies but they can turn into sinus infections and upper respiratory, even bronchitis.  Rest, drink lots of fluids, take a fever reducer of some kind, maybe something for the congestion, maybe a vaporizer for the chest discomfort, try some chicken soup, and see how you feel Monday, if not better please go back to the dr as you may need an antibiotic.

I used to have the same problem when I was younger, turns out I had really bad allergies. I ended up taking allergy shots. I also had to make a conscious effort to stop though. Nasal spray inhalants may help some.

A blocked nose will have you feeling like you have the flue. The long term affect will drain you. \nA common cause of a persistent blocked nose is an allergy to house dust mites or pets. Most supermarkets sell Anti histamines for this over the counter or you could ask a chemist if your unsure.
