Can't sleep because of sinus pain

[SparkleyMud]

...and need to be up early and drive for 4 hours tomorrow. Just taken ibuprofen for sinus pain, hopefully it will kick in now!!

Hot compress, orgasms and there are pressure points on your feet between your toes that relieve pressure in your sinuses. Also applying light pressure on and off like pushing a button between your eyes.

Thanks for the tips. I'll try anything

Try not to use nasal sprays too much as although they work initially they tend to make the problem worse.

A hot water bottle on your pillow (so you lie on it) gives temporary relief. I hope something works for you - it's grim.

I’m just getting over a sinus infection, 2 weeks it’s been. If you can try a nasal wash tomorrow, and a hot bath in the morning to try to get some of the junk moving. Also vicks is good to help relive the pressure. Try sleeping slight upwards to help the junk drain.

Orgasms?

Try and sleep upright if you can and Sudafed.

Yeah orgasms naturally open the nasal passages 😂

Nasal rinse
head on a hot water bottle
steam your head/steamy shower
(possibly weird one but it works - put your thumb in your mouth & push up/forward on the pallet then use first/middle finger to push between your eyebrows do this is rapid succession for about a minute/until you feel the gunk release 🤢)

hopefully you're asleep just now

Thanks everyone it's really bad again tonight. About to try the hot water bottle tip. Happy New year to you when it comes. X

Three nights of barely any sleep. Waiting on GP to call me this morning 🤞🤞
