Worsening of asthma

[Lynn223]

Hi I am new to this forum, I’ve recently had a bad attack of vertigo accompanied with nasal congestion, blocked and painful ears with itching, also suffer with my sinuses and rhinitis, had asthma since my 30s now 61, it’s usually well controlled, on antihistamines, beconase nasal spray which I’m not sure if that’s making my asthma worse... doctor thinks that’s a bit strange but there we go, waiting for an appointment from ENT, suffered with sinus problems for years but only recently taking regular meds for it.

Thanks

It could be ent symptoms worsening rather than asthma?

Thanks for your reply, yes ent definitely getting more troublesome but not used to my asthma being out of sorts, have post nasal drip so perhaps that’s contributing to the worsening of my asthma, hopefully will get sorted soon

Thank you

It could quite well be, it's a very common trigger - and really annoying to banish! If you are having asthma symptoms, use your blue if it helps. If it doesn't, it could be post nasal drip mimicking asthma as well. Just to add to the confusion!
