I have chronic allergies all year around, to what? I don't know. They started about 3 years ago when I moved to Montana.

Constant sinus pressure - can't breathe through nose, snore, etc. Sometimes bouts of sneezing, runny nose etc.
Accompanied also by a decent amount of nausea.

Just recently it has evolved to include
constant headaches,
more intense sinus pressure,
extreme (and I use that word very intentionally) nausea
faintness,
and fatigue.

I also NEVER have digestive problems but have within the past week - accompanied by cramping (I am in pms mode but I have never had issues with cramping).

What is this???
Do you think it is all sinus pressure (sinusitis) related?

I have made an appointment with an ND but won't get in to see her for months.

Any advice or ideas would be so so so very much appreciated. This is beginning to become intolerable.
 
Well, have you tried and antihistamine? Give Claritin or Zyrtec a try and see if they help. You probably need to be tested for allergies. I don't know what an "ND" is but you should see an allergist.
 
I have tried antihistamines - but, really, they don't help at all. Not even a little.
An ND is a Naturopathic Dr. She comes very highly recommended in my area. I'm really looking forward to her input, but for the time being... ugh.

Thank you for your reply :)
 
since antihistimes don't Work, you might just have to stick it out until u See an allergist and get tested. u can try sudafed type medications, but they can be drying to the sinuses after a while. but at least it will relieve pressure, and taking a pain reliever like motrin wouldnt hurt. shots can be extremely helpful if needed. i would see the allergist THEN the ND.

i went to a ND, and they have some great ideas but they generally want to do a lot of testing which is very very expensive since insurance prob would not cover. however, one good test to ask for is the elisa test since they test for over 90 diff food allergies. it ran me around $200. i found out i had two food intolerances that regular food allergy testing wouldnt have picked up.
