allergy, sinus, ear pressure, asthma and excessive mucus

Male 41 years old IT professional living in USA. Married for 12 years and have 2 kids.

History: started getting too many sneezes and swelling of skin around age 8. Developed asthma around age 20. Developed severely stuffy nose and polyps around age 30 and had polyps removed surgically at age 35. I get sore throat and ear infections 6-7 times an year.

My mother had similar problems during her childhood but her problems got cured with homeopathy. So I hoped that homeopathy can cure me too but even after seeing about 15 homeopaths in India and USA, I am just getting worse.

Allergy, Asthma, Sinus and Ear problems: I have asthma since age 20 though it is in control with corticosteroids. I have severe congestion and swelling in nose all the time. I take nasal corticosteroids but sinus problems are in poor control.

Every time I get flu or sore throat, I get ear infections and pressure in the right ear. While ear infections get cured with antibiotics, ear pressure does not get cured and leads to loss of hearing (right ear which is very bothersome). This resolves only with oral steroids. I JUST RECOVERED FROM AN EAR INFECTION BUT I STILL HAVE EAR PRESSURE RIGHT NOW.

Mucus: I get a lot of thick mucus in the nose - usually greenish or brownish. I do a lot of nasal rinses and steam but that does not help at all.

Mind: I have no interest in life. Very depressed and sad. Most of the day goes by frustrating about problems with my wife or fantasizing about sex. Find it very hard to concentrate on work or study. Easily get disturbed and offended. Have no friends. Low self-esteem and confidence. Look for solitude to masturbate. Usually, masturbate around 5-6 times a week. There is nothing that excites me.

Marriage: Married to someone who is only interested in her career and never had any interest in sex. My desire for sex is high. We have sex less than once a month and it is not fulfilling as she does not get into the mood. Feel like getting a divorce or run away from home and never come back.

Memory: Very forgetful and absentminded. I have poor active memory and often forget things halfway through. Find it impossible to follow schedule. I am studying and even after revising my lessons many times, I barely remember half of it. Find it difficult to remember names of people.

Eyes: very itchy and watery. My eyes get very watery when the weather is even lightly windy. Have black circles around eyes. My eyes are very sensitive to light – even a small LED light from a laptop won’t let me sleep.

Acne: on face and back. Have pock marks from acne on face.

Diet: I have extreme sweet tooth. I feel hungry even half an hour after meal and crave for junk food. I avoid rice, banana, okra, eggplant, milk, cheese and butter to avoid too much mucus from these foods. I get acidity and mild constipation once in a while

Fears: fear of failure, insects, sharp objects, loss of job, exams and interviews and worry a lot about my kids.

Interviews: feel very nervous at interviews and cannot answer things that I know.

Exercise and weight: exercise occasionally (try hard to make it a habit but cannot). I am overweight by about 30 pounds. Feel very lethargic and dull all the time and there is nothing that excites me.

Voice: I voice is getting very hoarse due to all the medications I take.
Sleep: find it hard to fall asleep and usually wake up in the middle of the night around 2 AM. Fall asleep again around 5 AM and then I can not wake up until 8:30 or 9 AM.
