Every time I start back swimming, I get sinusitis. I can lay off of swimming for about a month and it clears up. There appears to be some research to indicate that this happens to some people, but I cannot find any indication that there is anything that can be done to stop it. I will have to stop swimming altogether if I cannot find a way to control this. I have tried nose clips, but I still get infected sinuses.
Has anyone had this problem and found a solution that worked for them?
I had been suffering with nasal & sinus congestion ever since I started back swimming this fall. It was so bad that I had boxes of kleenex & nasal spray @ home, the office & in my car. I slept fitfully because of my difficulty breathing. I was dragging from the moment I got up each morning. I went to this site to see if I could learn a new way to deal with this problem. As was suggested here, I tried the saline solution. It has worked wonders! The problem has almost completely gone away. I'm sleeping better. I'm no longer a slave to nasal spray & kleenex! I can't thank the posters enough for the suggestion! Now, if you only had a magic elixir to make me swim faster....
