As my swallowing continues to degrade, I find that food particles make their way up into the base of my sinuses. This causes me to have an unusual pattern of sneezing.
I don't sneeze well due to respiratory issues. When this happens, I sneeze 10 or more times in quick succession. The are small, ineffective sneezes, but they cause what almost feels like spasms at the base of my sinuses. My breathing is also interrupted, which is unpleasant.
I have worked with my swallowing therapist on this, but have not yet found techniques that reduce the impact of this.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.
