Can’t sleep, nose blocked…?
Are these problems related or is something else causing these?
It first started with a slight headache, then my eyes and nose were affected.
My nose is blocked but i have NO symptoms of allergies or sinusitis, none. It’s simply blocked and hard to breath out of. My eyes feel very drained and droopy.
A few months ago, i started having headaches in the back and top, it felt like a tension headaches and very tight. i was eventually sent to the Emergency room. Recently my ears have been ringing 24/7 (tinnitus). It seems to get worse at night. I’m also having symptoms of TMJ.
I went to a chiropractor and he said it’s because of the knots on my shoulders and lack of exercise. The knots are caused because of bad computer posture (which i corrected… the table was too high) I noticed i have a HUGE knot on my shoulder, it’s hard as a rock. I’ve been exercising more lately and massaging my shoulder and the headache seems to be getting much better but my "other" symptoms are still there.
Does anyone know why the domino effect? The doctor said something about one problem leading to another problem because my body is weak. He said my body will "borrow" strength from every part like my eyes,nose,ear,jaw, etc…
I also have trouble sleeping….. super insomnia. Even if my body is worn out, my mind just won’t shut down. Can a sinus problem or allergy problem cause massive insomnia at all? Or is it more likely the tension headache/shoulders causing it?
Are these problems all related? Does that mean if i relief the headache, all these should go away!? Or are these problems actually caused by separate issues? Is there a link to this?
I’ve done blood tests, spinal tap, cat scans, MRI, x rays…. all came out negative
20 Year old male. I’ve been suffering from this for 4 years, I’m worried that this might not work because i’ve tried so many things and this is the last straw, I’m out of ideas. Seeing a doctor is not possible right now. I won’t be able to have insurance for atleast 6 more months so i need some personal advice
Try getting rid of dairy products made from cow’s milk, especially cutting down on cheese/cream, and change to goat or soya milk.
I suffered from similar problems from childhood. It was only when I ran a B&B that one of my guests (an opera singer) said he never drank anything other than goat’s milk because it gave him catarrh, that I put together the cow’s milk with the sinusitis/colds/catarrh, sore throats, headaches, sleeplessness, etc. The older I got, the worse the problems got. Colds lasted for months.
I have avoided most products made from cow’s milk and used goat products instead, for many years now. It took about 2 months after giving up all products made from cow’s milk before all the problems stopped, but now, I’m fine - I can even eat cheese and yoghurts made from cow’s miilk occasionally; but if I have cow’s milk to drink, then I know I will wake up in the night with a blocked nose and nightmares.
80% of Western Europeans (including US) have the enzyme which is necessary to digest cow’s milk. 20% of us don’t, and drinking cow’s milk causes many and varied problems. Maybe you’re one of those who don’t have this enzyme?
NB: Ignore the Chiropractor - most of them are charlatans and some can even cause damage to healthy tissue/joints.
The nose also belongs to one of the seven orifices. It has many functions of respiration, osphresis, phonafion and resonance. These functions are basically in agreement with those of western medicine. The nose is closely related to the following viscera, meridians and collaterals.
Lung
The lung opens into the nose. Naturally, the lung is closely related to the nose. Invasion of the lung by exogenous pathogenic factors, heat in the lung meridian, or deficiency and cold of the lung qi may all give rise to such diseases as nasal obstruction, profuse nasal discharge and nasal polyp.
Stomach
The stomach meridian of foot-yangming passes beside the nose, and this meridian is the meridian of profuse blood and sufficient qi. Therefore, if there exists heat in the stomach, it will rise to invade the nose along the course of stomach meridian of foot-yangming, resulting in fire-heat syndromes of the nasal region such as epistaxis, nasal furuncle and swelling.
Spleen
Physiologically, the spleen raises lucid yang and lowers the turbidity. If this function fails, three possible situations may occur: if the spleen qi fails to keep blood circulating within blood vessels, nasal bleeding will appear; if there exists turbid dampness in the nose, profuse nasal discharge will occur; if phlegm and dampness accumulate,nasal polyp will be generated.

good luck
Maybe it’s all psychological?
I have some of your problems too (more than half) I just deal with them because I’m tired of going to the doctors and never being diagnosed with anything.
I also quit playing World of Warcraft. I spend a significantly less amount of time online than I use to. and I have to say it has helped me A LOT.
It’s good that you are exercising, you should also have a good diet. Drink water/powerade, stay hydrated I’m telling you that will solve a lot of your problems. Eat fruits, veggies, fish, meat, wheat, you get the idea. No junk food it just drains out your energy.
