Warm mist vaporizer

[CeaBee]

(aka Warm Mist humidifer) Anyone ever tried this to help with sinus issues?

[kia027]

sorry no have not tried it. would long steam showers help or does it have to be continuous warm vapor?

I and I doan know.

I tried the steam from boiling water yesterday, twice....and with everything else i did headache went away (ie: Claritin D, nasonex, mucinex, netipot- 3 times, lots more water than usual)

I know that i have a stuctural issue (can't remember the term that ENT dr used ) , so nose doesn't drain as easily as it should, plus i have allergies and it is prime time for pollen here. Since I usually wake up with the headache (but not this morning ) I was wondering if running a warm mist humidifer while i sleep would help.

but thanks for answering

have u tried astepro? It is the bomb.. sends Nasonex to one side

[CeaBee]

a quick google search tell me that it's an antihistamine and nasonex is a steroid (or someting suh)...

the nasal antihistamine that the Drs usually give to BB is something called "Patanase" (which he uses in conjunction with nasonex)

I'll ask my dr about astepro if i have to visit her this allergy season. thanks

oh dahjah remind about this thread.

I went to allergist and she tek me off Nasonex put me on Qnasl. Tek me off Zyrtec D, put me on Zyrtec (no D).

Did the puffer test thing..before and after inhaler..she determined that I have some level of asthma(maybe allergy induced) that would account for my extreme fatigue. So I got a daily inhaler to use for at least next two weeks, after that she will do a re-check. Headache I was having either caused by strong reaction to allergens and/or sinus infection...

So between all that and some other things, I am feeling much better today.

All this to say that the trip to the allergist was def worth it for me. Feel like I can start back (indoor) exercise, and not dragging round the place.
