please bear in mind that sinuses are openings in the skull, some r connected to the nasal passages.

sinusitis, that is inflammation of the sinuses can be due to infection or allergy. when this happens, the membranes lining the sinuses secrete a fluid which comes in the nasal passages, plus the lining of nasal passages themselves secrete fluid which adds to the "runny nose"

when the sinuses are involved, u have headaches and discomfort the facial region.

the best treatment is steaming ur face regularly (if it happens in winter), in summer u have to determine the cause first:
allergic- runny nose, itchy eyes, cough, usually related to high pollen count, dust or can also be food related. it is treated by anti hisamines (loratadine 10mg), paracetamol for any pain or feverish feeling ( always take it after eating something, never on an empty stomach)
infection- it can be viral or bacterial. these days viral infection is quite common. viral infection is treated by taking paracetamol, gargling regularly with warm salt water.

if this problem is persistent, then u most probably have chronic sinusitis. and for that i would suggest u consult an ENT (ear,nose, throat) specialist who will examine ur nasal passages and might even do an x ray of ur sinuses if he finds them to be the cause of ur discomfort.

for nasal obstruction, xynosine spray is good, as mentioned before but it can be quite discomforting itself. steam, or hot drinks (such as green tea, the therapeutic benefits of which have just been mentioned) are very good and also yakhnee( chicken stock broth). the steam basically liquifies the crusts or blockages that form in ur nasal passages. plus take anti histamines, but take medicines when the aforementioned methods do not work.

please note that u should always try home remedies first, as a doctor myself i believe that most problems such as this can be cured by that. but if the problem persists, u must take medication from a specialised doctor.

i can't really say without looking at ur reports,etc if surgery is extremely important. what i suggest is that you take a second opinion from another well known ENT doc.

if PEPSI harmefull i used to slim but every since i stared drinking pepsi daily i have gained lot of weight

YES!!! pepsi and all sorts of cola drinks are extremely harmful,
1. it digests the insides of ur tract destroying the protective lining and making it vulnerable to damage by acid produced by the stomach.
2. very high sugar content, increases ur weight and also makes u susceptible to heart diseases and diabetes.
3. it has caffeine which stimulates ur brain but ruins ur sleep,etc. caffeine itself is harmful for ur heart in large quantities
4. as mentioned before, it increases ur thirst and removes the water from ur body cells, dehydrating them and unless u replenish the loss of water ( despite drinking a whole can of cola) u can get dehydrated and frequent episodes such as this can have a long term detrimental effect on ur body organs, especially ur kidneys.
5. it predisposes to ulceration

there r plenty of other harmful effects which immad would like to add

what i suggestis have a cup of mild coffee in the morning to stay alert the whole day and replenish ur fluids with water or fresh juices/lassi... and not the ones available from the rehri wala's but homemade beverages made under hygenic conditions otherwise u will have an upset stomach

now please suggest me a proper method to lose 10 kg , i am currently 6 ft tall and weigh 85kg, my target is to reach 75kg or lower and i have the time of 2 months for thorough exercise. after that i wont have more than an hour.

first of all, make a plan which u can maintain for the next two months.. do the exercise u like, eg swimming, jogging while listening to music or if neither, treadmill exercising or Weight lifting (but remember, ur muscle mass will get distorted if u weight lift regularly and then leave it)

stop drinking all sorts of sweet fizzy drinks, no coke,fanta or seven up. drink kachi lassi or lemonade to replenish ur salts.. make it a habit for ur life, these r unhealthy and r best avoided

ask ur cook to put one teaspoon of oil in ur food, it will not only be healthy for u but also for ur family.

don't eat from restaurants except once a week, so that u don't have any withdrawal.

this is all about balance, exercising regularly but moderately. eating low oil food but high in energy (such as beans , daal)

btw do you know if flat footed persons can join pak army?

Yes, u can do muscle exercises every alternate day. elliptical exerciser is very good for ur body in general especially ur thighs.

i would prefer that u don't go to the gym. people tend to overdo weight lifting there and can't maintain this exercise for long and quit thus distorting their muscle mass.

exercises that can be done at home are sit ups,push ups... u can check the following link for more details: Full Body Bodyweight Workout | Muscle & Strength

i'm not sure whether flat footed people can join the army or not. i guess it also depends if ur running capability is affected by ur flat feet or not. If u can run/ walk for long without having any pain or discomfort, i don't think that it should be a problem. u need to confirm this.

[margallar]

what does "distorting muscle mass" mean?

[omar_575]

what does "distorting muscle mass" mean?

ur muscles lose their characteristic shape if u work out regularly and then suddenly quit.

[awais.9]

after using an expired inhaler last night,i was not feeling well,vibrations in hand n when i went to sleep,my heart beat increased up n heart started pumping in the brain,if any1 knows what i mean,i couldnt sleep for 1hr,then i thought inhaler might be expired n i checked the date on it n it was an expired one,expired in 2007 lol
even took a panadol extra,n finally that heart beat that was pumping in brain got relaxed n i was able to go to sleep,i dont understand why it starts up in brain on the sides n how to ever stop it

did the inhaler have albuterol (or salmeterol)?

the symptoms u mentioned are related to an overdose of this medication. these could possibly occur in an expired medicine (not using the inhaler for a long time myt cause the medication to concentrate and when use it, all the concentrate comes out)
Anyway, the important thing here is that u shouldn't have taken panadol, or panadol extra- which contains caffeine and can aggravate the problem.
what u should do is immediately go to the emergency of a near by hospital. they will give beta blockers ( given to heart patients) and monitor ur heart. but all this has to be done by a trained doctor. Dont take any medications at home.
what u did was dangerous, but because of ur young age the problem subsided soon.
btw, how can u have a 5 yr old inhaler when u r an asthmatic?

[hamza_xeg]

and you need to be more specific so that we can help u further... whats the age of the person in question, is he/she suffering from any respiratory problems? has this problem been present since birth?

16 years old Male

did u consult a pulmonologist or a general practitioner?
i would suggest that he should get pulmonary function tests done, as advised by a specialized lung doctor. to rule out any progression of mild respiratory failure.

why can't he take tablets? does he have a problem swallowing them? does he have any problem eating solid foods?

Don't get tense bro.. You'll be fine soon, just wait n see. If you know what I mean

I was 65kgs before marriage and now I'm 75 (H)

Btw, there is no natural way of gaining weight in 70 days.

i had few inhalers stored with me from a long time,n i had been taking expired ones b4 without knowing,infact the one that i used last night was used by me one night before that as well but nothing went wrong
it was either ventoline or ventide inhaler,i trashed it last night when i checked the expiry date
i dont use inhaler much,but now its like i use it every night going to sleep when i feel even little breathing problem though didnt had to use it from many days but whenever i cant find it near me at night it feels like i'll have problem in breathing while going to sleep

btw r u serious about going to hospital for that?
i dont know why this heart pumping in brain happens but it has happened b4 as well many times,how do you get rid of it?i cant sleep whenever it happens
as for meds,we use homeo mostly
i took panadol because i got headache as well from that brain pumping thing
