Xhance is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of nasal polyps and adults please see the important safety information at the end of this video brian’s story a patient’s perspective my name is brian i am 33 years old i’m a full-time musician in charleston south carolina been married for five years to my wife taylor and i have a french bulldog named petey
Taco i’ve dealt with constant sinus pressure my whole life all the headaches and the pressure constant drainage it’s like trying to blow your nose but you can physically feel a blockage so you can feel all that stuff in the back of your head but nothing will come out it’s so annoying i’ve tried nasal sprays but they didn’t do much for me i’ve also tried saline
Solutions they didn’t work either if i had a gig i would beg my doctor to give me a steroid or just something before a big show just so that i could get through singing and performing it was tough i’d be on the mic and would have to turn my head away from the crowd because of the immense pressure and pain and then i’d have to turn back around and put a smile on
My face and the crowd wouldn’t know the difference i couldn’t sleep you know because i couldn’t breathe through my nose i’d wake up kind of almost choking because if i was sleeping the drainage would eventually go down and then i would cough and wake myself up you also can’t sleep when you have massive headaches the first time i heard the term nasal polyps was
Actually from a specialist my ent he said you know listen you can’t continue to take oral steroids all the time you can’t keep taking all this medication that’s when we decided to do the surgery my first one was about 10 years ago after the surgery i still had symptoms so i feel like i tried everything i went back on allergy shots but nothing was helping and the
Polyps started coming back my doctor said here’s a deal it’s something you’re always going to struggle with surgery will wipe the slate clean but we need to prevent them from getting as bad as they were after my second surgery i was still experiencing symptoms so my ent said i’m bringing in a colleague of mine who specializes in treating patients like you he was
The one who told me about his hands he said we’re getting good results from our patients would you be interested and i said yeah i’d be willing to try anything at this point he showed me how to use it it was super easy for me once i started using x hands the biggest thing for me was that i wasn’t waking up with congestion anymore i stopped feeling the constant
Pressure that’s for sure the biggest difference if i’m singing i don’t get headaches and for someone who has always dealt with that in their entire life that is everything i think i’m about a year in with expanse i use one spray in each nostril in the morning and that night i don’t even know how long x hans has been around but yeah i wish i had treated my nasal
Polyp sooner if i could give other patients advice i’d say go see an ent urologist see someone who really knows and really listens to you and then i would just say you gotta try it man it works for me so give it a shot it’s just like a sign of relief you know because i thought i was gonna have to deal with this until the day that i stopped singing it’s a relief
