Possibly paranasal cancer

[Grace360]

So I've been having this pretty persistent symptom that I didn't think anything of until yesterday. Went down a rabbit hole.
Found out one of the symptoms of paranasal cancer is a stuffy nose that doesn't quite go away.
So of course this worries me so severely.
Now I chalked it up to seasonal allergies but I have a stuffy nose a lot throughout the year. Sometimes I wake up with it, sometimes it happens after crying, or sometimes it's just there. And of course it gets worse in the spring. It just happens so often, a few times a week honestly. I know its a cancer, rare at that, but that's a symptom that persists and I never even thought about it.

And? A LOT of people experience allergies year round, myself included. I never know when I may wake up with a stuffy nose, drainage, cough, etc.

I know this falls on deaf ears/eyes but at least 1/2 the population has congestion on a regular basis. I’m probably understating that number.

Paranasal cancer like 1 in what, 50,000? And usually due to a long history of breathing in chemicals, smoking and such. And you’re what, 16?

My doctor, a most patient physician who understands my anxiety, would usher me out of his office in a heartbeat if I mentioned something like that to him (with your non-existent risk profile).

Just because you have a stuffy nose does not mean you have nasal cancer. Do you take anything for it? I have a stuffy nose all of the time.

Stop googling

I had an ungodly stuffy nose that lasted an entire year. Turns out I'd given myself an infection from blasting the inside of my head with Afrin multiple times a day.
