Singulair vasomotor rhinitis
Common Questions and Answers about Singulair vasomotor rhinitis
singulair
He said that it could be allergic rhinitis AND non allergic rhinitis from a vasomotor response. I told the doctor that when I come inside from cold weather my nose will feel warm, swollen and red. The doctor said that can be a vasomotor response from the change of weather and/or allergies. It also happens at night when I am lying in bed. My nose will get really stuffy and warm and I will look in the mirror and it is flushed.
I do have bad allergies and this is a bad season for me.
Sorry, if Vasomotor rhinitis is from imbalance of sympathetic or parasympathetic of nasal mucosa - then how could vasomotor rhinitis be from inflammation? Couple doctors said vasomotor rhinitis is from chronic inflammation, a couple other doctors said from imbalance of sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system nasal vessel mucosa. It is very confusing. If from imbalance then why would steroid nasal sprays suppose to help? Which they don't for me but I guess they do for some people.
My husband was diagnosed with Vasomotor Rhinitis about 3 years ago. He is a 36 year old male in great shape and good health BESIDES VR (Vasomotor Rhinitis). He has suffered his whole life with what he considered an allergy until he was dx with VR by a very reputable ENT in Madison WI. He grew up in Western Mass, has lived in Chicago, Virginia, Oregon (Portland) and now Madison, WI. All places he has lived offer NO relief.
It is possible your husband has a non-allergic inflammation of the upper airways called vasomotor rhinitis. This can cause drainage and can be quite annoying to some. This gets worse with different temperatures, certain foods, increased activity or generally anything that increases blood flow to the area. One therapy that sometimes works for this condition is a nasal inhaled steroid which temporarily decreases the inflammation, but does not cure anything.
hi - I have nonallergic (Vasomotor Rhinitis) I know what you mean about this ruining your life. I have had this for 6 yrs. now. Constant 24/7 post nasal drainage, blocked nasal passages that clog up on one side then the other side. I have tried every nasal steroid spray that was ever invented I think and even oral steroids. Nothing helps. I irrigate my nasal passages twice a day with the NeilMed nasal bottle and the pre-mixed solution.
Hi There!
I'm wondering if anybody else here suffering from sinus congestion.
Mine is going back for years I've seen several ENTs, one was convinced that my blocked nose was due to dust mite allergy. So he performed a surgery, a middle turbinate reduction, it was in 2010. and prescribed the usual stuff, costeroid spray. The surgery didn't make the slightest improvement, nor the spray didn't help.
They sometimes call this non allergic rhinitis or vasomotor rhinitis. I have the same problem for 6 yrs. now as well with a small fiber peripheral neuropathy after a bout with the flu bug. Had sinus surgery - did nothing but made it worse. I irrigate my nose 2-3 times a day with Neil- Med sinuse solution rinse for 6 yrs. and it does nothing but it might help you. Mention this to your ENT doctor. By the way nasal or oral steroids did not help with the constant post nasal drainage.
what it sounds like to me is vasomotor rhinitis. Swollen turbinates- do you have post nasal drainage, thicker type down the back of your throat? I had about 50,000 dollars worth of testing also. Allergy tests, shots. mri's, sweat test, every test you can think of -all negative. Nasal steroid sprays, nasal rinses, oral steroids. I am so sick of these tests and expense and then i hear "vasomotor rhinitis" --NO CURE for this.
t have an appointmet with my doctor for two weeks. I had been taking singulair and zyrtec but I stopped until I can clear it with my doctor. Are these medicines safe and if not is there a safe one out there?
s Triad, however I do not have any history of aspirin or NSAID sensitivity. My ENT says I have vasomotor rhinitis. I irrigate with pulmacort respules and take singulair, 2 different steroid inhalers (one through the nose), and 2400 mg. a day of mucinex. I even did a 2 month trial of methotrexate (low dose chemotherapy). Nothing works. I am having problems only on the right side. My last CT scan was clear, after 42 days of prednisone and 2 rounds of Levaquin.
I know exactly how you feel as I have Vasomotor rhinitis as well. I have been to so many ENT doctors and there is not really nothing that they can do. I have had all the scopes in the nose, down the throat, CT scan, MRI, blood work and everything shows up fine. I know what you mean about the nasal sprays, I think I have tried every single one that was ever made and that did not help either.
Other possibility is vasomotor rhinitis which occurs due to rapid temperature changes. In 50% cases of allergic rhinitis is associated with asthma. The rhinitis can be triggered by specific allergen like pollens, dust etc. You need to go for allergy test if needed to rule out the allergen. Avoidance of exposure to allergens with nasal decongestants will be helpful.
Do you have trouble breathing through your nose on either side? Ask your Ent about vasomotor rhinitis, the blood vessels inside swell up and can cause pain , pressure. One of my ENt doctors tells me to do nasal irrigation twice a day for ever, he said that it may not seem like the rinses are helping but they really are - could have fooled me- I have been doing them for 6 yrs. and it has not done a thing. Either has oral or nasal steroids. Do you have constant post nasal drainage?
I would bet you have mixed rhinitis which is allergic rhinitis along with vasomotor rhinitis. or as the doctors call it now is nonallergic rhinitis. Weather changes, and everything else that you mentioned along with perfume smells, chemical cleaners, laundry dryer sheets, things with strong scents, diesel fumes, gasoline and the list goes on. I too have the swelling of the cheeks, undereyes, sides of nose - on the outside of the nose as well as inside.
It can be controlled by keeping the sneezing in check. Repeated sneezing could be due to vasomotor rhinitis, in which the symptoms occur in response to a trigger, like eating spicy food or going outside in the cold. The primary treatment is simply avoiding the things that trigger your symptoms. It is often treated with a drying nasal spray (like Atrovent) and antihistamines like chlopheneramine and lovatidine are effective. Nasal decongestant drops too relieve congestion.
It should be differentiated from vasomotor rhinitis and Atrophic rhinitis for which consult ENT specialist.
