Flying and Diving
Some people get severe sinus attacks following airplane flights or scuba diving because of underlying problems with nasal drainage. When you fly or deep-dive, you experience changes in air pressure. You have probably noticed these pressure changes in your ears during an airplane takeoff. This is because the eustachian tube between your nose and ears functions to equalize these pressure changes so that they won't damage your head and its intricate structures. This is what gives you the ear-popping feeling when driving uphill, riding in an elevator, or flying in an airplane. Pressure changes can cause swelling of the sinus membranes and lead to inflammation and, at times, to infection. If you have a cold, these problems become worse. An easy remedy I give my patients is an oral decongestant like Sudafed to be taken a half hour before the plane takes off (or before scuba diving), and a topical decongestant nasal spray (such as Afrin or Neo-Synephrine) during ascent and descent (and mid-flight for longer trips).
