Re: Sinus Pressure and headaches/Fog

[Guest guest]

Sinuses are intricately intertwined wih the adrenal function. Low

adrenal function often first exhibits wiht a sinus " infection " which may

or may not be an infetion or just an irritation. I would recommend

getting cortiosl levels checked with a saliva cortisol test.

That adrenal list I was looking at today listed it as an adrenal issue. I

think pressure and sinus issues can be either thyroid or adrenal related.

Are you taking HC? Have you tested low in cortisol?

Sinus Pressure and headaches/Fog

I have been having weird sinus pressure and associated headaches with

brainfog ever since I " got sick. " This was the day two and a half years ago

when I first noticed that I had something wrong, which turned out (after two

years of misery) to be a hypothyroid issue. My TSH was over 250. I am now on

4 grains of Armour which I take bucally, two grains at a time twelve hours

apart.

The sinus stuff has been worse lately with fewer times of relief than

there has been up until now. I never had sinus issues before I " got sick " (I

am a 37 year old male.) There is no infection or dripping or running or

anything like that. When I feel the pressure, my nose is actually stuffy

(the air flow is restricted), bit it's not plugged up with mucus - it's like

the passages are swollen. I honestly believe that this is not really a sinus

problem, but rather a symptom of being hypothyroid.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

YES!!! I have always had " swollen " nasal passages!!! And I hate to say it,

but especially when I was Pregnant..but the same issue has arisen several

times now since I went hypo..The Endro and I agree that has to do with

hormones being out of balance - as they happen to be when I was PG.

So you should probably get a hormonal panel done....maybe your's are out of

whack because the thyroid is not producing properly. I also have a tumor on

my pituitary, some them are what they call non-functional as in they do not

put out hormones...others put out or put pressure on the pituitary so that

some of your hormones are not produced.

This can all be done via bloodwork or salvia testing - I am sure women are

not the only ones with hormonal imbalances.
