I have been having persistent nose "pinching" feeling for past over last year. It started as once every 2 mths and then progressed to daily now. It's worst when I wake up. I have been through most medicines; avamys, singulair, polarax, augmentin, oxy-nase, arcoxia, voltaren. Went through many checks, ct scan, sinus ct scan, brain MRI scan, 2d echo, holted, pheochromocytoma, thyroid and doc could not find anything. Now treating me with tegratol fir trigerminal neuralgia. I have a funny feeling it still has something to do with the nose cause the tegratol doesn't seem to work ( in my first week in a step up dose ) and I still have dried mucous and headaches every morning. Anyone can help?
