Cycling And Sinus issues???

[KerryLad]

i have got a new bike and have cycled 3 times and think im struck down with sinus issues maybe infection?? anyone else get this when they cycle?? i got it a small bit when i used to run ?? cycling would have more wind blowing up the nose etc like any advice please??

i use sudafed spray as my nose is always blocked up for whatever reason - does the trick for me

I tend to get this a lot and I haven't found a cure yet. The nasal sprays do clear it but I don't like to use them unless I really have to.

I really thought stopping smoking earlier this year had fixed it as I haven't been bothered in a while but it's come back after a few long rides at the weekend and am still all bunged up

If you can't breath through your nose before the ride, then as likely as not its just a symptom , not the cause.

anyways of stopping this happening? covering the nose? never had this issue till i started cycling like thanks

 

[KerryLad]

when i used to run used to run 2 hours and never had as much issues guess your going away slower? thanks for replys

Well, I'm with Mort. But I have another ENT issue when cycling. Not sinuses, but my voice. Particularly in the winter, long rides really stuff up my voice, so much that I can barely talk above a whisper after some rides.

[QUOTE 3117719, member: 259"]Blimey, I have the opposite to all you lot. I probably lose about a pint of "liquid" an hour from mine![/QUOTE]

I used to too, and no exaggeration, it might have been a full pint.

It is now back to normal, so it can run a bit depending on the air temperature/wind, more so on stopping.

I have a problem where I always have to blow my nose every time I go outside. I don't have allergies and I'm not allergic to anything.

I also have a 'problem' where my eyes water when I start cycling, but I think this may be due to the wind also.

I have this issue when my nose snots up like a good'un after around 45 mins riding

Its nice and loose to blow out though but not pretty when I do!
