Bad chest for nearly 5 years

9 Replies

Hi. I have had a snotty nose and bad chest for nearly 5 years now and i am exhausted with it. I had a blood test and was told it was grass pollen in Dec! I am taking antihistamines and a nasal spray but they are not working. I am worried now and not sure what to do, i have literally been blowing my nose for nearly 5 years!

Can anyone advise please?

Dave

Hi Dave please go and challenge your doctor to actually improve your day to day life. You clearly need to be referred to a specialist. Good luck to you. Xxxx

Welcome Dave. 'Grass pollen in Dec'!!!!! Treatment not working. Please go back to GP. Agree with others, after 5 years of problems it's time to be referred.

Dave-Webb,

Sounds like it's more than just pollen.

Have you gone to an Ears, Nose and Throat specialist? I have heard that sinus infections are very hard to get rid of. Antibiotics will 'mask' it for awhile, but soon after, the infection flares up again. Post nasal drip can add to the lung issues as well.

Take care, Beth
