The NHS needs more people like this guy ! Great explanation, learned more in 5 min than in the last 20 years
Seriously. This guy made my ENT look like a clown.
Exactly
Amazing advice❤️👍
Me too!
Agreed.i just realised I had been spraying wrong way ..for so long
Been struggling with allergies, sinus and snoring for decades and NONE of my doctors or pharmacists have ever told me any of this. Great job!
They are uneducated or don't care.
I have used nasal sprays, prescribed for my nasal congestion, for years. This video taught me more in 5 minutes than in all the directions that come in the box! Thanks for all the great info!!!!
So, are you good now? You have been using it for years, did your nose get addicted to it?
Yes also me I have been used nasal spray for not then five years and now it make my pressure blood high in the night it’s like u r killing Urself slowly
@@Ajatashatru7 wondering the same thing
Allergic rhinitis ha?
Vik, where have you been all my (nasal spray and drops) life!? I have been using nasal antihistamines and decongestants totally wrong for decades. Some of the most useful medical advice wrapped up in a 5min video I’ve ever come across. Totally brilliant!
I feel very privileged to hear this professional advice, even more so for free.
This is one of the best explanations I’ve seen about nasal sprays a ive had seasonal allergies most of my life and the doctor always wants to give me a nasal spray and I’ve stayed away because they don’t seem to work. Watching your video helped me realize I was using them incorrectly. Thanks for the help!
SAME I always assumed it was because I wasn't breathing deeply enough or putting the spray high enough in my nose wth! LOL pharmacists need to overexplain since a lot of people don't know these things!
Wow that was terrific! I've been using sprays for well over 30 years, have had sinus surgery and have lost count of all the ENT docs I've seen over the years. Not one doctor has ever taken the time to explain any of this and consequently I've been using sprays wrong this whole time! Thank you!
I so wish that I lived in the UK so I could see you! I am an absolute mess and have yet to find a good ENT. I can tell that your bedside manner is absolutely stellar. I have gotten so much watching your videos.They actually have given me some hope! You are so kind for taking the time to explain all of this and I love that not everything that you share relies on drugs and surgery. It’s so refreshing to see.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm afraid I don't know anyone in America, I've only been there once for a few days for a conference. I wish you the best of luck.
Yes, the NHS ethos at its best ;different I guess ,from the narrative usually pushed by the usual vested interests
I have been using avamys sprays since is not working please what I can use please
Msrockwood, if you are near NY - I can recommend Dr. Steven Y. Park, he's an ENT/sleep surgeon at Montefiore. Oh he had a RUclips channel ruclips.net/user/doctorstevenpark not very active but you can get an idea.
Dr. Veer, you have a gift for explaining stuff!
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge 👍
So nice of you, thank you for your comment.
Thank you for truly caring and sharing your knowledge, it makes a huge difference for people. 👍🙂
My pleasure! and lovely to meet you the other day!
@@VikVeerENTSurgeon after using the spray, how long do you have to breathe through your mouth?
Wow, been doing this wrong FOREVER. Nobody ever explained or showed. Thank you. 👍
Bonus tip #2: for decongestant sprays, only use at night so you can breathe more easily while you sleep. Suffer through the day as best you can without using the spray. This reduces dependency and keeps effectiveness higher.
Agree. Also, perhaps only on one side if only one side is restricted.
Great advice. Also, 100% nasal breathing should be a lifelong goal so that NO can naturally keep the sinuses open.
This is exactly what I do thanks for this advise
Advice
Why should you have to suffer at all
Thank you very much for this video!
My biggest mistake was sniffing it right up.
Now I let it marinade inside my nose, and it does work better this way.
Extremely useful video!
Ohhh myyyy!!! I'm using my nasal spray incorrectly for 3 days in a row.
Thank you so much for this video. ❤
These are some great tips. I've had allergy/sinus problems for years and have never heard most of these tips! Thanks!
I've been using flixonaise for around the last 20 years. First time I've ever seen anyone explain how to use it properly. Thank you so much will start tomorow following your advice
I've been using steroid sprays for decades for allergic rhinitis, it's good to finally learn how to use it correctly. Better late than never!
Ditto - bit concerning to hear I should only have used the one I'm on for 3 months when I've been prescribed it for about 20 years lol!
what about side effects on eyes? any idea
@@adafridi Fluticasone may increase the risk that you will develop glaucoma or cataracts. You will probably need to have regular eye exams during your treatment with fluticasone. Tell your doctor if you have any of the following: pain, redness, or discomfort of the eyes; blurred vision; seeing halos or bright colors around lights; or any other changes in vision. Talk to your doctor about the risks of using this medication. Those are the long-term risks of taking it 6months +.
Thanks for the comprehensive walkthrough - one of the better presentations on the topic on the internet!
As always incredibly fine and practical information
Thank you doc, I couldn't ask for a better delivery of useful content 👍this is where the real value of video sharing platforms comes from
Thank you. Nice to have a Brit who shows products we can get here in the uk. Very clear demo.
Great! Thank you!! Excellent advice! Blessings and Good Health always!
You definitely know what you are talking about. Very well said. I learned a lot!😊
So easy to understand! Excellent and helpful advice!
Thank you, Doc. Very helpful.
8:37 Muslim Prayer Position - SubanAllah! Great videos, we appreciate the time and effort you have put in.
One of the most informative videos on sprays and how they AND my nose works that I’ve ever seen!!! Thank you Dr. Vik!😘
Absolutely BRILLIANT explanation of all the things I have been wondering about for decades.
I learned a couple of new things that no one ever told me; thank you!!👍👍
VERY helpful! Thanks for sharing.
life time suffering, just found after 3 nights pacing around no sleep hell, thankyou dude for this, feeling more relaxed just listening
Thank you so much for making this video. You truly went above and beyond with the amount of information provided in this 9 minute video.
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
Super helpful video, very clearly explained and paced. Thanks alot!
Thank you so much, your video helped prevent the nasal congestion progress to sinusitis like it usually does, simply by spraying the right way!!!
Thank's Vik ,if i hadn't seen this Most Wonderful Comprehensive and Exhuastive study about nose sprays, i would not have believed it!! Absolutely Fantastic rundown, well done Vik, keep up this invaluable work !!!!
That was enlightening. Thanks, Doc!
Fantastic as usual!
Wow this is bloody brilliant! Thank you so much
Ent scrub for years here. Best video I have seen. Thanks for getting info out!
Great video, thank you!
you have just answered questions I did not know I needed answers to thankyou.
Great video, super useful!
Such a good explanation, so clear, very many thanks, I learnt a lot!
That was excellent... Cleared a lot of points I had queries about...
Your "besides the point" are often what I find most useful! 😅
Amazing advice!
Superb clarity of explanation, so unpretentious from a very well qualified guy. I have learnt so much from this . Bravo!
This video was recommended by YT and I'm so glad it was. This was a fabulous video Dr. Veer! So interesting. I will be sharing it as I know lots of people with sinus issues especially living down here in the American deep south. Thank you so much!!
Great video. I wondered why the decongestant had stopped working. Learned the essentials in a few minutes. Thank you.
this was very informative, thank you!
Thank you so much. I never had so much difficulty breathing as I have the past 1.5 years at the age of 23-24. I feel like I'm suffocating, like a pillow has been put over my face and I'm trying to fight, fight, fight, and fight... Every day.
Honestly, your videos are so beneficial thank you so much
Fantastic video. I just had a large polyp removed and this info is gold dust.
Excellent, thank you, subscribed!
Thankyou Doctor! I was prescribed Metaspray yesterday. I was wondering how I should be using it. Glad I found your video. ❤️
He is a very good doctor
Thank you Sir for sharing this video!
So good, thank you!
Thank you, never been taught any of this.
Thank you so much for this brilliant info. I’ve been doing it all wrong! You’ve explained it all so very well...I’m off now to wash my nose out and use my flixonase properly. Thanks again! 👍
Very well explained. I have aggressive nasal polyps and a deviated septum. And I have found the side with the deviated septum gives me the most trouble. I feel it is because I am not getting the right angle on that side when I spray, therefore the medication is not going efficiently to where it needs to be. I think your tips will surely help. Thank you so much. I wish my ENT was as helpful as yourself. And best of luck and much love to everyone here who is suffering!! 💙
Thank you! This should be an official instruction video for these nasal spray brands..
Loved this videos thanks. Subscribed !
Excellent information thank you so much.
I've been snorting the flonase for decades. I appreciate this helpful "revolatary" info, Dr.
Thank you for this useful information, Dr. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤟🏻
Super. Thank you. I am on these meds for sinusitis and polyps. No one told me!
Very helpful! Thank you
Very informative. Thanks doctor.
Great information !!!
Wow. Such a great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. 👍👍👍
So helpful, thanks 😁
So helpful, your ongoing professional information is giving me much needed knowledge, thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you Dr. Veer! This was terrific information.
Oh my gosh thank you so much. I was not using the spray right, i was sniffing it up immediately so it wasn't effective. I sprayed it in an angle after i watched your video and i waited a bit and breathed through my mouth and it worked so much better!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for explaining the best way to use nasal sprays. I was prescribed a cortisone based spray without any sort of explanation. The paperwork inside the container had basic drawings and I now realise I was using it incorrectly because the taste I experienced afterwards was vile.
Brilliant Video . Taught Me The Correct Way .And What Sprays To Use .
The most descriptive and helpful video on nasal sprays on RUclips ever. I was able to understand what the turbinates were from your description after being confused by so many other animations and diagrams! However, I'm still confused about where nasal spray should be pointing. Doesn't pointing it towards the ear shoot it right at the bottom outer most part of the inner nose (the round part of a nostril flare)? I feel like when I point it this far to the side, the medicine just leaks right out of my nose. Some resources say to point it to the outer corner of your eye. I feel like when I point it at the inner corner of my eye, I get the most effect.
My word! This is the most helpful information I have EVER gotten about using nasal spray correctly and it's function in all my 50+ years. i have had 2 sinus surgeries and a turbinate reduction which were not successful. I am a miserable breather most of the time. After watching your video this is the first time I have really had lasting hope for success. Thank you so much Doctor Veer!
Great video thank you
I cannot believe how much there was to learn about nasal sprays
Excellent. Thank you
This is super super helpful 🙏🏻
Thank you very very much for the good explanation
thank you for great tips! You must be a fantastic doctor I wish you were my doctor. My sinuses causing me misery for few years now. God bless you!
Thank you Dr Vik for your informative videos!! ❤
By far the best tutorial on the subject that I've watched--and I watched three short ones before this. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Doc what's the best time to use the spray - is it during nighttime before bed once daily or twice?
Awesome video ! Very informative !
Thank you!
Great info thank you.
Thank you so much for helping
Thanks so much dr. I was spraying wrong way so far now I learned the right way
The Muslim prayer position - super helpful! I recently started Dymista and had a hard time keeping the liquid from going down my throat (seems to be more volume w/the Dymista, maybe because it’s a combo spray). Now, I spray & then immediately go on my knees (prayer position) and tuck my chin under. I hold that for a bit, switching to “down dog” as well, so with my 2 Dymista doses per day I’m also getting the benefit of some stretching. Getting my nose “upside down” like this has really minimized the bitter taste at the back of my throat. THANK YOU! 🤗
I got off phone with allergy doc twice today ....and many more months ago and couple years before that with ent ......I have severe chronic rhinitis and no one here will understand how many ways I tried to spry or things I bought ....it started to even cause sleep apnea.....I saw this one video and im shocked of well I understood it and how to spry...right now food smell in in room is extremely bugging me and ive been loss of smell for years ..this is crazy!!! this guy is insane !!!!
