Q: Nose Dryness and Dry Eye
asked by: yellowcab on May 25th, 2009

Hi, I had a sinus operation in February 2008. Since having the operation my nose does not seem like mine, it always feels very dry and bunged up, and it is always as if I am having to blow it, but more times than not, nothing comes out and it always feels as if it is going down the back of my throat and I am always having to clear my throat.

Also a few months after I had the operation, it started where one of my eyes would not open and on trying to open it, it was very painful as if it was stuck to my eye ball and it pours with water and takes about a half hour for it to settle down and open. It is just in a morning or if I wake up in the night. I now find it is in both my eyes and this is very worrying and painful. There is and never has been any infection in my eyes. According I have dry eye, are these two symptoms connected and how come it has only just started to do this. I would be most interested if anybody else has this same problem and can give me information.

Thanks for reading this and look forward to any answers that you can give me.

Regards

Chris

yellowcab, I don't mean to scare you, but it sounds like you may have ENS or Empty Nose Syndrome,, an iatrogenic condition caused by aggressive sinus surgery. I have suffered from the condition for 2 years. Good luck.
