What is chronic sinusitis?

Chronic sinusitis - sleepy, and fatigue?

• I have chronic sinusitis, and I'm always sleepy and tired..can chronic sinusitis be the cause? Or can it be something else? Since I breathe mainly through my mouth, I feel like I don't have great lung capacity or energy..or at times I feel like a have lung spasms and I gasp for air.. I'm waiting on the surgery for my nose (inferior turbinate...) and then I'll see what changes there are.. But other than that - can chronic sinnustits be the cause of all my symptoms and laziness? What advice do you have? Any stories - I can relate to.. Thank you!

• Answer:

  I had the same sinusitus and yes its exhausting and you will feel more tired on days that you are stuffed and nasal is in any type of inflamation. Especially since you go through it consistantly. And yes not breathing thru your nose does have an effect on you body there are different are quality factors that are important that are not delivered to you which effect you, but I won't get into that right now. But it does worry me that you have some kind of lung spasms not to normal maybe you have astma also? could also be a form of aniety, But definately you should have a chest xray also. I almost had surgery but I think it was a turbinectomy but just by chance I changed my coffee from folgers to 8 o'clock coffee and 7 days later it took that long and I was all clear, only once in a while when its humid or I am around mold or mold spore counts in the are are high I get a llitle stuffy but it quicly goes away. The coffe brand was the only thing I changed and I never would have thought that was the main culprit but I even tested to see what would happen if I drank it again and any other brand and sure as hell. I stuffed up the next morning and it took 4-7 days to clear my system. I do not know for sure but it could be realated to the processing of the coffee by the manufacturer or the packaging materials or some additive, I really do not know for sure, but I used the same coffee for 15 years swithched because I felt like it was to bitter, then by chance started the other and I am fine. Sounds crazy but it's true. I hope this helps I would love to know how you make out. GOOD LUCK!
