sinuses popping - Sinus Problems Message Board

Hi,
I have had sinus pain and pressure for over a month now(mainly in my forehead). I am on my 4th round of antibiotics for sinusitis.
Anway, today the pressure is very severe on the sides of my nose/under my eyes and I keep feeling a popping sensation coming from behind my nose and eyes. It's definatly not coming from my ears. I thought it was a little strange to have popping sounds that feel like they're coming from the sinuses. Has anyone else had this?

Thanks!

Yes, I have the same thing.

It happens when there are pressure changes within the sinus cavities. When mucus either enters or leaves a cavity, you get a "popping" sensation. My ears have always popped a lot, even when I was a kid.

4 rounds of antibiotics! Good grief! I'm going to post a protocol for dealing with sinusitis, check it out -it might help.

I know exactly how that feels, it has been happeing a lot since I had my surgery last week. I get a lot of popping in my ears and sinus's. When I lay down they pop a lot cause I know the stuff is rolling back into my head, it is weird!

Oh, by the way, my dizziness is getting better. My sinus's are starting to clear more since my surgery and now the dizziness is getting less and less everyday. It feels nice!

Hilery -
I get that when I lie down or roll over after lying in one position too long. I think it's "normal" when you have clogged sinuses.

I'm so glad your surgery worked. I might have to go that route in the near future. Was there much pain? Were you knocked out? (I've never had surgery before.)

I had my tonsils out under local. They gave me a narcotic that made me feel "out of it." I slept through most of the surgery.

If I have to have surgery again, that's the route I would take. The recoverty time is a lot shorter under local. I'm not sure if it is an option for nasal surgery, but I would look into it. The tonsilectomy was like having a tooth pulled -no big deal.
