Sinus problems and hay fever

I have always had problems with my sinuses, it is a bit of an inherited thing, and other members of my family have the same thing. It is a very fine balancing act, trying to live with it, without constantly resorting to taking pills or using nasal sprays (which I used to use ALL the time, but have weaned myself off).

I also have hay fever, which with sinus problems isn't great.

Now it is warm, I am starting to wake up in the mornings completely congested, needing to take decongestants and pain killers for the ensuing headache. But I REALLY don't like taking painkillers every day. I can take an antihistimine before bed which helps a little, but not enough.

It's so uncomfortable and unpleasant. Has anyone got any tips?

GagaJo Interesting Ashcombe!

Was it a national chain health food shop, or an independent?

It was an independent in Rugeley, Staffs., near where I lived at the time. Here is a link to their website as, although they are currently closed, they do have an online presence:-

Strangely, I woke up this morning without a headache. First time in weeks! I took an antihistime before bed last night, but I have been doing that for a while.

No idea what the difference was. It had rained, so maybe the pollen count was lower?
