Sinus pressure

Sounds like you need to try the neti pot.

I have been told about this by co-workers. I think I may need one.

I've never tried it myself but I've heard it works really well.

my wife swears by her netipot.. i refuse to try it..

It doesn't sound like it would be a real pleasant experience but I guess if you had a really clogged up nose it might be worth it.

I don't think it'd work if you were clogged up, you'd probably drown.

That's exactly what its used for. Don't ask me how it works but I know the people that have used it swear by it.

Okay, I didn't realize that.

As I've known it, it's for allergy sufferers to help clear out the sinuses and nasal passages of pollen, dust and other contaminants.

I don't know if the Neti Pot gives any such warning but if your sinuses are already infected/clogged and cannot drain, flushing with water can be one of the worst, most painful things you can do. Most of these flushes are intended for maintenance, not curing a sinus infection. That water will fill all the little areas of your sinuses, back to your ears, but if it has no place to go (cannot drain) you're going to be in for much worse sinus pain/pressure.
