Since around 2003 I have experienced pressure around the bridge of my nose. Also each morning I wake up with an incredibly dry mouth which I also experience when drinking alcohol (as a result I have stopped drinking alcohol) and if I do not eat food for a number of hours. I also wake up with a headache which tends to subside during the day but is pretty much constant. In 2008 I finally went to see my GP who suspected sinusitis. Over the following 6 months I tried antibiotics, many nasal sprays and nasal drops all without success (with the exception of the very first spray that I tried which did improve matters but only for a few days). I have also tried nasal irrigation (a mix of water, salt and sodium bicarbonate)and a facial sauna but again no improvement. I was then referred to the local hospital where I have undergone both a CT scan and a rhinoscopy which both came back clear so sinusitis has now been ruled out. In the last 18 mts I have dramatically cut down on my cannabis intake.
