Do I have Sinusitis, is this normal?
I'm not asking for a diagnosis just opinions so I know whether to push my GP to take it seriously.
Every day I wake up feeling stuffy, this has gone on as long as I remember, possibly years. Some days it lasts throughout, others it seems to disappear or I somehow forget about it. It's like one nostril is blocked and the other isn't clear. Sometimes I have a post nasal drip but not constantly, but it feels more common than not.
Sometimes I feel pressure in my cheeks and near my eyes which sometimes turns into a headache. I feel fatigued often as if my sleep isn't good quality.
Twice in the last year I've had a couple weeks off work where I've had migraines and the last time the migraines were so bad I was being physically sick.
I've been to the doctor at least three times, both times I was prescribed antibiotics and told I have a sinus infection or sinus inflammation. One time a nurse said I have a deviated septum which makes me more susceptible to sinus issues.
Today I woke up 3 hours ago and I still feel stuffy, when I breathe through my nose it feels stuffy like both nostrils are blocked or narrow and I have pressure around my cheeks and eyes.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Should I visit the GP again and try for a referral for a specialist? I really struggle with the GP and often don't feel they take you seriously and just prescribe more drugs.
