What Causes Breathing Difficulty And Sinus Pressure?
Ever since I was little I ve had a lot of trouble breathing through my nose. Its not like mucus more like sinus pressure. Ive never been diagnosed with any nasal condition but Ive also never been tested. I was recently perscribed Ultram pain pills because of an injury I sustained at work, Ive noticed when I take them my nasal pressure goes away and I can breath perfectly through my nose. Does Ultram have anything in it that would stop my sinus pressure, and if so is it in any other medications that I could take?

Hello,
Ultram is an opioid pain killer, which has no action on breathing or on the sinuses drainage.
Coming to this point, I would recommend performing a sinus X-ray study and consulting with an ENT specialist for a physical exam.
An allergic reaction may trigger rhinitis or troubles with breathing or sinus pain. For this reason, consulting with an allergy specialist may be necessary.
In the meantime, I would recommend using nasal drops decongestant in order to help to breathe and drain your sinuses.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
