Swimmer's Sinusitis

Former Member

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 an issue yesterday where my sinuses were so blocked that if I went more than 3 feet below the surface, I had terrible pressure behind my eyes....never experienced that before. I got out because I was afraid I'd blow a blood vessel or something. Anyone experienced something like that?
