piisfish 140 #2 April 10, 2007 Disneumon Pernasal, available in Empuriabrava, good for blocked nose due to cold. Don't know how it could react if you take other medications.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Armour666 0 #3 April 10, 2007 Skydive radio had an episode with Dr. Stuart Selkin he is a ear, nose, and throat Specialist I have seasonal allergies that get pretty bad at times and found this one a had a lot of good information he covered. He recommends keeping a nasal decongestant spray on the flight as if you get blocked at altitude you can get a pretty bad squeeze happening and they hurt like hell.

nayf69 0 #4 April 10, 2007 I get pretty bad hayfever, cant stop sneezing at the moment!! I have never really had any problems with jumping with it though, also have a lot of problems with my ears on regular "holiday" flights but never any problems with jump planes, but as some other people said maybe try a decongestant, I usually use sudafed and that clears up any blocks straight awayIf you can't take care, take cover!!!
