What are clinical signs of chronic sinus disease?

It is important to know the difference between the concept of signs and symptoms, which are not the same. We need to understand that signs are what everyone can observe and see, while symptoms are what the patients feel.

These interviews were recorded with Prof. Dr Joaquim Mullol and Prof. Dr Martin Önerci.

Have hand chronic stuffy nose for 4 years. Told it was deviated septum… got the surgery and nothing improved. Got my turbinates reduced… no improvement. Told it’s likely new allergies as surgery won’t do anything going forward except to reduce the turbinates even more. I’ve had season allergies my whole life but nothing like this. Going to get allergy shots next week and try that for a year to see if that improves…

My symptoms, my nose is so stuffy ALL the time. Especially my left nostril gets so bad it blocks my right nostril and my throat. Even sitting sets off my nose to get stuffy. Only thing that helps is intense exercise or just standing and moving. Holding heavy thing with my right hand actually helps clear up my left nostril. I get occasional moments when I can breath maybe 20% through both my nostrils but sleep is a nightmare especially with 2 kids under 2… my marriage is suffering because I’m constantly feeling like I suffocating just trying to breath and my mood is just awful these past 4 years. Saying im desperate is an understatement. Saline, nasal massage and even afrin don’t work anymore… my dumb nose developed a resistance to it all and Im feeling like there is no cure. If allergy shots don’t work, I will just remove my turbinates… f it

Anyone else having the same symptoms? Idk how allergy shots will help me when sitting or being stagnant is what’s really triggering. I’ve lived in Northern Virginia and then moved to Colorado with the purest air and still no improvement. I’m in Hell…. Someone recommended something PLEASE

My ENT Specialist checked my sinus cavities about a month ago using a Nasal Endoscopy. At that visit, my ENT Specialist told me that there was no sign of Sinus Disease but that my nasal passages were inflamed. She had me use both Fluticasone & Azelastine Nasal Spray twice a day. Well about two weeks ago, I went & used my Nasal Spray & my nose started bleeding. So I stopped. Well, I went & had a CT Sinus done & now I have Sinus Disease. My question is, is it possible that using both steroidal nasal sprays cause the Sinus Disease or made my inflammation way worse?
