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 feel very privileged to hear this professional advice, even more so for free.
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!
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!
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.
Ohhh myyyy!!! I'm using my nasal spray incorrectly for 3 days in a row.
Thank you so much for this video. ❤
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!
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?
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. Nice to have a Brit who shows products we can get here in the uk. Very clear demo.
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 TH-cam channel th-cam.com/users/doctorstevenpark not very active but you can get an idea.
Thank you, Doc. Very helpful.
you have just answered questions I did not know I needed answers to thankyou.
So easy to understand! Excellent and helpful advice!
As always incredibly fine and practical information
Thanks for the comprehensive walkthrough - one of the better presentations on the topic on the internet!
Great! Thank you!! Excellent advice! Blessings and Good Health always!
Ent scrub for years here. Best video I have seen. Thanks for getting info out!
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 learned a couple of new things that no one ever told me; thank you!!👍👍
Wow this is bloody brilliant! Thank you so much
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
You definitely know what you are talking about. Very well said. I learned a lot!😊
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 +.
These are some great tips. I've had allergy/sinus problems for years and have never heard most of these tips! Thanks!
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
That was enlightening. Thanks, Doc!
Super helpful video, very clearly explained and paced. Thanks alot!
Such a good explanation, so clear, very many thanks, I learnt a lot!
Wow, been doing this wrong FOREVER. Nobody ever explained or showed. Thank you. 👍
VERY helpful! Thanks for sharing.
Honestly, your videos are so beneficial thank you so much
Thank you, never been taught any of this.
He is a very good doctor
Thank you Sir for sharing this video!
One of the most informative videos on sprays and how they AND my nose works that I’ve ever seen!!! Thank you Dr. Vik!😘
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.
Fantastic as usual!
Absolutely BRILLIANT explanation of all the things I have been wondering about for decades.
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 !!!!
Super. Thank you. I am on these meds for sinusitis and polyps. No one told me!
That was excellent... Cleared a lot of points I had queries about...
Your "besides the point" are often what I find most useful! 😅
Great video, super useful!
Wow. Such a great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. 👍👍👍
Fantastic video. I just had a large polyp removed and this info is gold dust.
this was very informative, thank you!
Brilliant Video . Taught Me The Correct Way .And What Sprays To Use .
Amazing advice!
life time suffering, just found after 3 nights pacing around no sleep hell, thankyou dude for this, feeling more relaxed just listening
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!!
Thank you Dr. Veer! This was terrific information.
Thanks so much dr. I was spraying wrong way so far now I learned the right way
Thank you so much, your video helped prevent the nasal congestion progress to sinusitis like it usually does, simply by spraying the right way!!!
Great video, thank you!
Thank you so much for this information . I've been battling allergies along with nasal polyps. in fact I haven't had a sense of smell in years (way before the pandemic). I'm hoping this information will help me! I sneeze so bad every time I use these!
Thank you for this useful information, Dr. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤟🏻
Great video. I wondered why the decongestant had stopped working. Learned the essentials in a few minutes. Thank you.
Thank you! This should be an official instruction video for these nasal spray brands..
Very useful, as usual! Please make more video!
More to come!
So good, thank you!
Excellent information thank you so much.
It’s amazing what you learn from anatomy and more even still when applying that knowledge to medications
Excellent, thank you, subscribed!
The most descriptive and helpful video on nasal sprays on TH-cam 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.
Please do a video on this Epley's reflex and how to do it properly on your arm to make it easier to breathe!
I have never seen that sneezing trick with the finger under the nose before, either.
Superb clarity of explanation, so unpretentious from a very well qualified guy. I have learnt so much from this . Bravo!
Thank you very very much for the good explanation
Thankyou Doctor! I was prescribed Metaspray yesterday. I was wondering how I should be using it. Glad I found your video. ❤️
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! 👍
Thank you so much for these tips! I’ve been on fluticasone for 15+ years and never knew this.
OMG Ive been on beconase for over ten years aarrgg... amazing video thank you, I am truly shocked. 🌹
Thank you Dr Vik for your informative videos!! ❤
Very informative. Thanks doctor.
Thanx for the info! Of course I was using the Flonase wrong and you helped! Thanx Doc!👍
Loved this videos thanks. Subscribed !
I cannot believe how much there was to learn about nasal sprays
Awesome video ! Very informative !
Thank you!
Thank you Dr Veer, wonderful advice.
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 Veer for the helpfil info its nice to see a doctor that spends some time and care 🙏👍
Great information !!!
Very informative, thank you.
Very welcome
thanks very much for this , I have another week to go then will have to use the sprays after have septoplasty and terbinate reduction surgery. I appreciate your videos . Ontario , Canada
This is super super helpful 🙏🏻
Very helpful! Thank you
So helpful, thanks 😁
I hope my ENT doctor explained this years ago. But better late than never...thank you doctor!
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.
Excellent. Thank you
Thank you so much for helping
I've been snorting the flonase for decades. I appreciate this helpful "revolatary" info, Dr.
Thank you. I've never been told this by my GP.
8:37 Muslim Prayer Position - SubanAllah! Great videos, we appreciate the time and effort you have put in.
