OK, I am going fucking crazy

Superman · Post by **Superman** » 2003-11-26 06:53am

About a week ago, I noticed that my left nostril started to make a whistling noise when I exhale through it. It has been doing this ever since. Whenever I breath through my nose, I hit a loud and solid 'C' and I am going out of my fucking mind. I tried blowing the shit out of it, picking it... I have tried everything but my nose is still whistling. At my staff meeting yesterday, people kept glancing back at me because of this... I am thinking about trying like those guys on TV that can suck up a piece of thread through their nose and pull it through their mouthes... Maybe this will floss my nasal cavity.

What the hell can I do here?

You should see a doctor maybe...?!

Maybe a doctor, but it's just whistling. I dunno why!

Try snorting saline, you can get it in pharmacies.

i hear cocaine works wonders for your nasal cavity.

Seriously, it could be that something is swollen in there. you may want to try a spritz (ONE spritz) of afrin and see if that helps. if it does, and the whistling comes back 10-12 hours later. see a doc.

Superman,

get some nasalcrom nasal spray at your pharmacy. You probably just have an inflammatory reaction from an allergy in your nostril. I get that sometimes too, and its nothing to worry about.

Deviated septum, perhaps?

Maybe you could tune the other one and make some sort of pan pipe CD.

That sounds right. I used to have a problem breathing because my septum was canted towards the right. This may have also affected my hearing leading to most of my hearing loss in my right ear.

But I had a rhinoplasty to resolve the problem a couple of years back and my conk is now straight or good as and I can breathe. Having just your adenoids out doesn't always cut it.

Err, I didn't think a deviated septum was the sort of thing you just woke up with one morning.

Supes, I've had the same problem in the past, I tried the nasal sprays because the constant whistling drove me batty too, and they didn't really do much. It annoyed the hell out of me, but I just waited it out and eventually it stopped. Took about a month, though, so if you're less patient, maybe you should go to your doctor after all.

Hmm, good point, as ever.

Maybe it's only a very slight deviation that has just become noticeable or something.

It's not, but it may have been deviating gradually over the past few years and only just now got to the point where it would cause the symptoms he's having.

I think it's more likely that his gf bonked him on the nose while they were boinking and deviated it thusly.

That sounds like a Bismark (aka Strawberry Cream).

Could be a Bot Fly.

Bot flies will be the end of humanity....mark my words.....NASTY things!

Superman · Post by **Superman** » 2003-11-26 02:09pm

Goddamit, it's not a Bot Fly. I took an entymology class and IT'S NOT A BOT FLY! Hey, do you think Noah took a Bot Fly on the ark?

It could be a tumor.

two of every animal, IIRC....wonder if god makes a distinction between animal and insect or if animal=mammal/reptile/fish/bird.
Probably bot flys would be brought on by the various animals infected with the larvae.

I'm pretty sure a Strawberry Cream is the other way around. Or was that a Raspberry Swirl?

I hope you guys aren't talking about stuff that Red Wings would fall into the category thereof...

You guys are cruel.

Seriously though, try holding your head over hot water and just breathing in the moisture and see if it helps any.
