Right Nostril Congestion, Sniffing Causes Shooting Pain In Head, Heaviness In Right Side Of Face, Head Heaviness. On Sedation For Colonoscopy. Treatment?
Suddenly I am all congested in my right nostril and everytime I sniff it sends a shooting pain up to my head. The right side of my face feels heavy if that makes any sense. Heavy headed when i lean forward too and feels like my nose is filling up. (I have just had sedation for a colonoscopy this afternoon which could be the heavy head feeling) Any suggestions, feel like im constantly at the doctors lately. Any way I can just self medicate? Thankyou.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Your symptoms are likely to be due to a sinus congestion. Doing a steam inhalation with few drops of eucalyptus oil will help in relieving the symptoms to a large extent. You can also use nasal decongestants.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
