How Sinus Blockage Affects Breathing and Symptoms
The sinuses help regulate airflow and drainage within the nasal passages. When these pathways become inflamed or narrowed, normal drainage can be disrupted and pressure may build.
Blocked sinus openings may contribute to ongoing congestion, facial pressure, headaches, and difficulty breathing comfortably. In some individuals, restricted airflow may also affect sleep quality.
Identifying the source of sinus obstruction is the first step in determining whether balloon sinuplasty may be appropriate.
