5 years ago I developed sinus problems which were so bad I was forced to stop swimming. Didn't matter if it was a pool, clean fresh water, or ocean...my sinuses almost exploded/plugged up and produced a huge amounts of post nasal FLOOD, not drip! Recent info leads me to believe I have vasomotor rhinitis due to swimming/immersion. It takes only 15 minutes in the water before the explosion occurs. Nose plugs don't help at all.
Anyone else had a similar experience? Any cure? I miss swimming a ton. :0(

I don't know if you've tried this, but someone I know had the same problem. She was told to breathe out of her nose and hum while exhaling. I'm not sure why, but it helped her a lot.
