I tried it this morning and for the first time I didn't have nasal spray running down the back of my throat or the front of my nose, my nose didn't get all weird and bloody and I can feel the information going down in my sinuses.

@mikefish8226
Жыл бұрын
I used to get so congested that I couldn't breath through my nose and no amount of trying to blow my nose would unblock it even for a couple of seconds (also massive pressure and sinus infections), the spray would just couldn't get anywhere to work. I noticed at the 'end' of sex I'd have 30 seconds after of unblocked nose. So when I had a blocked nose, I'd get my nasal spray, wank off and spray it up there once I'd "finished". Weirdly, research (different teams in 2018 and 2021) has come out suggesting that this is actually a real thing. Luckily my blocked nose and sinus infection phase ended about 10 years ago.

Does your nasal spray contain oxymetazoline as the main ingredient? I was addicted to afrin for years and it was just a cruel rebound cycle of the more I took, the less I could breathe. But if I stopped completely, I was in pure hell and agony. I actually had NO idea nasal spray "addiction" was a thing until a King of Queens episode. I was in utter shock.. I had been causing my own pain and misery for so long. I then decided I would never again use afrin or any other spray like it. I went cold turkey and actually had to call my mom a few times and tell her to not let me buy Afrin when I was feeling weak 😂 and switched to Flonase, which doesn't contain steroids (it's main ingredient is fluticasone propionate).. even if you don't suffer from allergies, it can save your life. I haven't had congestion issues in so long and I used to suffer literally 24/7. I'm so sorry if I'm completely wrong and my comment is useless and you do use a spray like Flonase, just thought I'd put that out there! I actually buy a way cheaper brand from Amazon called fluticare. Started working within a couple days!

a trick is.... tilt your head backwards, hold your nose closed with your fingers, and very gently push out air, increasing pressure. That will cause your blood vessels to shrink for a short moment, giving you time to use the nasal spray. theyll swell right back up within seconds though, so be quick.

Another helpful tip I’d like to add is there are some people in the world who can grow back tissue. If you’ve had an Adenoidectomy and can never seem to get any relief to your sinus problems, don’t be afraid to go to your ENT. I am in the 5% of people that can grow back gland tissue. And 80% of my sinuses were blocked by Adenoid tissue that grew back aggressively. Granted there’s usually a -small- chance; but a chance it is. Don’t learn the hard way like I did.

the other thing people don’t mention about medicated nasal sprays is how literally addictive they are! if you’ve used nasal sprays for a while and then gone off them you’ve probably noticed the problem worsening and difficulty breathing through your nose. if you use them continually enough you may never be able to stop using them as you body can’t function as it did before. there’s people who use nasal sprays all day every day because they literally can’t stop, it really needs to be addressed.
@razztazz1982

Yep. Unfortunately this is something that's not talked about in general & most people do not realize the underlying potential hazzards with general over the counter decongestant sprays. In my situation~ I used OTC nasal sprays for a one time flare up during Springtime allergy season. In general I wasn't aware that you should limit usage to only a handful of days & I didn't read the very small print on the original packaging that states to refrain from using over a prolonged period of time. The allergies seemed to linger so I kept using the spray every day. I discovered after 2 months of use; The spray seemed to not work as well as each week past & I was using it more frequently than I had to before. Then at about the 2 month mark it wasn't working for me at all. I was completely miserable not being able to breathe correctly through my nose, especially when I had to sleep, so I looked into why symptoms had worsened since I had been using spray that was suppose to help combat things. I discovered not only should the spray be used very short term, but prolonged use can cause severe nasal passage inflammation which stuffs you up even more & it can also become addictive. I immediately stopped using the spray cold turkey & I suffered through an agonizing 3 weeks of horrible sinus irritation & clogged nasal passages, before my blood vessels finally went back to normal to where I could breath regularly again. It was extremely difficult not to use the spray during that time just so I could get even a slight bit of temporary cleared nasal passageway, but I stuck to my guns & waited it out so my blood vessels could heal. That was 3 years ago & to date, I have never had the need to use the nasal spray again.
