This Drip started about 2 yrs ago or so. First in the morning when I wake up from sleeping all night and head is on pillow and I do not toss or turn during sleep. Then it can happen a couple other times during the day. I deal with it, certainly would take no drugs etc for it but it is all new at this late time in my life. Anyone else relate to this one?
I can relate and my eye doctor told me it sounds like allergies and to get use to it. Eye doctor? Yes, I thought I had pink eye but it wasn't. I had every symptom of a cold but no fever. My eyes were red from rubbing them from the itching. After the first year I noticed it came about when the seasons changed beginning in Spring. The minute I wake up the sneezing started on to the watering eyes and runny nose. A box of Kleenex only lasted two or three days. I dreaded every house cleaning tasks because I either couldn't see, was blowing my nose, or sneezing my head off and it took me longer to get things done.
I've had a history of allergy issues, BUT this morning DRIP and often a couple times thru the day is different stuff. I've been taking antioxidants for almost 30 yrs and no colds or flus etc in me, but t his DRIP is a new thing., thanks. My gut is telling me I sleep in one head position all night and the mucous builds and runs out in the AM.....and most likely dust and I'm not about tearing down my place to get rid of dust. I'll live wtith this nuisance.
I never had allergies and now I get up with a full nose and coughing. I sleep with a paper towel at the ready. and some NAC for the cough in the morning. Fall and spring seem the cause although I thought I had become allergic to my cat!
It does sound like allergy symptoms to me as well, @Joy Martin. You could try antihistamines for a few days and see if it resolves ( I like loratadine/Allegra best, but there are certainly others. A nasal rinse can also help, either something like a netipot, a simple squeeze bottle and saline, or a Navage apparatus if you have the funds. @Von Jones if your principal symptoms are itchy eyes, you can try allergy eye drops. I like the ketotifen ones that are generic and are sold OTC, but there are others if you don't choose to take a regular oral antihistamine.
I have been using eye drops for a couple decades and started with an old standard Visine and when I became more and more into healthier products I went with this brand. Similasan has probably 9 kinds for different eye issues. I use their Dry Eye product, their one for Computer Work and one for basic Anti Aging. The standard products all have fillers and stuff I'd rather not put in my eyes. Thought I'd share this as I'd guess most here are not into homeopathic remedies. https://www.amazon.com/Similasan-Al...keywords=similasan&qid=1694901903&sr=8-4&th=1 And as Big Pharma goes and their lying ways, they are working hard to get rid of good products that don't have GUNK in them. The more GUNK the more damage.
