I think i'm allergic to something in one of my juices... and was hoping to get some advise from someone else who has gone through something similar.

I vaped a particular flavor this morning and within half an hour began to feel pressure in my sinus. Continued vaping while driving to work, and the pain got worse. By the time I got to work, it felt like someone punched me between my eyes... sharp, throbbing pain. Not really a headache, more like a bruise that someone keeps poking at.

Got off the juice right away, but the pain lingered. It's been 9 hours now, and finally the pain is beginning to subside.

I vape around 4-6ml of 18mg per day. No real problems with other juices. So starting thinking back, and about 3 weeks ago I had a pretty bad cold. Sinus really hurt, just like today, and I attributed it to my cold. Thinking back though, that is right about when I got this particular juice... so, i'm assuming that it really wasn't my cold causing my sinus pains but this juice.

I contacted the vendor and they say it contains coconut, peach, and cream (and of course nic, pg, vg). all natural and no colorings, etc. I should say I am allergic to peaches (all tree fruits), but only fresh fruits, not flavorings or cooked fruits (e.g., pies, cakes).

Has anyone else had an allergic reaction like mine, where they had sharp pains in the sinuses?

Thanks in advance.........

Well I can't say I have had the same experience as you. I would not continue vaping the same juice and see if your symptoms resolve themselves. Having an allergy I would avoid those flavors but I am not a doctor that's just my opinion of course. I DO know that using a neti pot will help give you relief of your symptoms! I have terrible indoor/outdoor allergies and use a neti pot whenever I get a sinus headache and it instantly takes it away without having to take anything. Works on regular headaches too but only lasts 1/2 hour before you have to do another treatment.
