Question

What is the best solution for sinus problem?

Answer 1

Cause: First find out the cause [allergies, infection, polyps, etc.] then the treatment should be directed towards the cause not the symptoms.

Answer 2

GO to ENT: Use neilmed rinse with saline solution into your nostrils. You may use decongestants ( phenylephrine) in pills or nasal spray. Also a nasal cortisone spray twice daily ( flonase, Nasonex (mometasone) etc) may be helpful. If there is fever with facial pressure may be an antibiotic may help. If you are desperate go to ent. Most of the time there is an allergic component req. Antihistamines or cortisone in pill.

Answer 3

Could be years: There are many variables that affect treatment. If the lesions small and asymptomatic, simple observation is appropriate. The typically do not grow quickly. However, if symptoms start to develop, your doctors should talk to you in detail about your options for radiation and surgery and the risks and benefits of each.

Answer 4

Variable: Meningiomas have a spectrum of progression from extremely indolent (slow-growing) to rapidly progressive. The pace of any tumor can be judged its previous growth rate, a pace which holds true unless an unlikely malignant transformation occurs. Microsurgical procedures and stereotactic radiosurgery (such as gamma knife) can be utilized.

Answer 5

Sick Sinus Synd.: Requires pacemaker. There is no alternative.

Answer 6

Syncope and death.: The sinus node is a bundle of heart cells concentrated in the right atrium that normally sets off each heart beat for life. Arteriosclerosis may slowly, or rapidly in a heart attack, destroy these cells and lead to very abnormal, usually very slow, heart rates. If the rate slowed down to perhaps 30's, one may pass out, if worse, one may not wake up. Once the diagnosis is clear, need pacemaker.

Answer 7

a few things: Sick sinus syndrome results in the top chamber being unable to effectively regulate its rate. It can also occur in the setting of atrial fibrillation. With this combination, both extremely fast and extremely slow heart rates are possible. Symptoms can include dizziness lightheadedness or palpitations, chest pains, exercise intolerance, or even feelings as though you might pass out.

Answer 8

Heart rate problem: Sick sinus syndrome is a vague medical term referring to a problem with the heart's sinus rhythm. It can include rhythms that are too fast, too slow, irregular, or all of the above. If symptomatic, it is often treated with a pacemaker. It can be a symptom of aging, or of a deeper problem. Definitely, get it checked out asap.

Answer 9

Arrhythmia: Sick sinus is a syndrome characterized by both rapid and slow rhythms in the same person. Often needs to be treated with pacemaker so the slowing for the rapid can be protected from getting too slow.

Answer 10

Sick sinus syndrome: Sick sinus syndrome is a cardiac conduction disorder where the hearts spontaneous pacemaker, does not send its electrical impulses quick enough to keep the heart beating as fast as your body requires. It results in the heart rate becoming too slow, not getting fast enough during exertion, or waiting too long to spontaneously restart after a fast heart rate. Can be treated with pacemaker. See doc

Answer 11

Improvement: You should expect to breathe better with less nasal congestion, decreased sinus pressure/pain and decreased number of sinus infections. More info at www.Socalsinus.Com.
