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?
Last year my pool quit using chlorine and changed to a salt pool. All my sinus problems went away.:bliss: And it's been so much better for my hair and skin. :)
You're lucky -- I swim in a scy salt pool and consistently have sinus problems from it.
Flonase does wonders, but I try to limit my use of it. Saline and neti pot have never seemed to help. Now that I'm used to it I won't ever give up my nose clip.
