Good Evening,
Does anyone here have really bad sinuses who tried low dose cialis?
How did it effect your sinuses?
Blocked/stuffy nose is a side effect of cialis...i always get it and im on 5mg daily
I've been on 5mg/day for almost a year and I occasionally get it. Was worse when I first started but not too bad. The sinus side does increase with dosage, but the sinus effect doesn't last long when it happens (at least not to me).
It was bad for the first week on 5mg before bed. Now I take 5mg 2x a day with little issue. I had sinus surgery 6 months ago and use saline rinse every day.
....
I got that at first but it went away after a few weeks. Also had bloodshot eyes and headaches. 5mg morn/eve. I don't have any sides at all anymore.
if you have cryptic tonsils you're stuffyness could be helped by using a waterpik (lowest setting) with salt water. squirt the pik into your deepest crypts to get the stones out.Quote:

NOTE!: some people can get really sick from messing around in their sinuses. I contracted some kind of viral infection when i tried using a nasal spray once. it was brutal!
being hydrated also helps
L-Cysteine will clear that right up.
Not to go off-topic, but I heard on TV once that some people who used regular tap water in their netty pots were contracting some type of illness and actually died from it. Following that logic, I'd think that allowing regular tap/shower water to enter your sinuses might not be a good idea?Quote:

oh that's weird i'll do it all the time. i'll edit the post. i've gotten very sick before from using nasal sprays. i think it was viralQuote:

lol, he heard on TV once.. so it has to be true :PQuote:

I had nasal surgery about 6 months ago and I had one of those given to me by my Doctor, it comes with packets that you can mix in the water -- perhaps that's what made it sterile? or maybe it just contained saline to get the gunk out but they did work.
I did the low dose ARR/CIA and the first week I had the same stuff happened and im real prone to getting headaches so I have to be real careful on this stuff that is offered.
So with all that said it went away after a week .I liked it and If I took Viagra it was real bad so I was very happy with the ARR/cia .So give it some time and again this is what works 4 me.

Use distilled water only in netty pots or any other device used to deliver an aqueous solution into the sinus cavities. Deliberately allowing copious amounts of water from your shower head to enter your sinus cavities is a very bad idea.Quote:

Yeah, the sink faucet would be the same as a shower head, possible even worse as most sink faucets have a wire mesh aerator which dramatically increase the surface area for bacteria/mold/fungus growth. Its really a good idea to clean faucet and shower heads once a month with bleach.Quote:
