I am not a doctor, but when my sinuses act up, I personally find that taking a hot shower and letting the steam fill the bathroom really helps open up my nose. Applying a warm compress across my forehead also gives me some quick, temporary relief.
I totally agree with doing regular steam inhalation. Adding a tiny drop of eucalyptus oil to the hot water works wonders for clearing that heavy facial pressure.
Since I have thyroid issues, my body's immunity is sometimes a bit low, and these sinus infections can drag on for weeks. I always make sure to consult my doctor for a proper checkup if the pressure doesn't clear in three days, rather than letting it linger.
Don't worry, this heavy pressure is just because your sinus passages are inflamed and congested right now. Take some steam twice a day and make sure you're resting instead of staring at screens. If it doesn't get better by the weekend, we'll get you to a doctor.
I once kept ignoring severe sinus pressure, thinking it was just a regular cold, until it turned into a massive forehead infection that needed heavy antibiotics. Please don't wait around if the pain is constant. Get a proper checkup from an ENT specialist soon.

I have been feeling this heavy weight under my eyes for two days now and it is quite uncomfortable. Is it safe to use those saline nasal sprays to clear the pressure, or should I wait to see a doctor first?
Keep yourself super hydrated! 💧 Drinking warm water and herbal teas really helps thin out the mucus so the pressure goes away. Feel better soon, just take a nice warm steam and relax! 😊
