I have sinus infections at least a couple of times a year. They are awful because it always seems like it should be something more serious with the symptoms you get. However try to not panic yet. I did the first time I had one too. Your symptoms were very much like mine. I didn't understand how nausea could be a symptom of a sinus infection, but you're right. All the mucous build up and everything else is awful. I don't usually take medication anymore because I hate going to doctors. It will go away on it's own, sometimes it takes a couple of weeks without antibiotics. If you're still feeling the same after that, just see your doctor again. You'll be just fine! You'll get more energy as it starts to pass. Good luck!

Jennie,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I really feel better knowing someone else knows what this feels like.

Yes, I have been sick and wanted to go live at the hospital just to make sure they didn't miss anything! Actually I have the flu today and in the back of my mind a little bit of that old feeling comes up.....what if it's something else...but I know it's not.....it's just a bug and I will be better soon....hang in there...take some deep breathes and try to focus on something other than the illness.....

I get sinus infections too and usually i get every cold and flu bug going! I take Vitamin C every day and this really does help - it doesnt stop you being ill but it does calm down the symptoms. Vitamin c is also good at giving you energy.
Try not to worry, in a couple of weeks you will be fine xx

Again, just keep chugging the water. Also, not sure how you are with taking over the counter meds but mucinex is what I have been giving my husband who has the same thing you have. It helps to thin the mucos so it can come out or so it won't "clog" your throat so bad. He has been taking it and a friend of mine has to take two pills twice a day for ever due to sinus problems and she does good on it. When I was sick last week I never though t I would get thru it but I eventually did. Don't forget to try the extra water, the breathe right strips and a steamer in your bedroom. Or right now you could boil a pot of water, take it off the stove put it on a hot pad and put your face over it with a bath towel over your head, the steam works wonders. I even use just a mug of boiled water and hold it up so the steam hits my face/nose.

Sinus infections suck! I have sinus issues all the time, it is normal to feel the junk in the throat, and to have upset stomach. If you don't want to take anything drink lots and lots of water. You can also boil a pan of water, put a cough drop in it and breath in the steam. it will help clear up the congestion and make your throat feel better. Vitamin c drops are good too. Take care and feel better.
