How Sinus Conditions Affect Breathing and Daily Life
The sinuses are air-filled spaces that support airflow, drainage, and overall nasal function. When the sinus passages become inflamed, blocked, or structurally narrowed, normal drainage can be disrupted.
This may lead to ongoing congestion, facial pressure, sinus headaches, post-nasal drip, and difficulty breathing comfortably. In some cases, chronic sinus issues may also affect sleep quality and energy levels.
Understanding the underlying cause of sinus symptoms is essential before determining the most appropriate treatment approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is chronic sinusitis?
If you have had 12 weeks or more of symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial pressure or pain, nasal discharge, cough, headache, postnasal drip, fatigue, dizziness, or reduced sense of smell, you may have chronic sinusitis.
Are sinus infections the same as chronic sinusitis?
Not always. Sinus infections may be acute and temporary, while chronic sinusitis involves persistent symptoms.
Is balloon sinuplasty painful?
We perform our procedures under sedation, much the same as a colonoscopy, so the procedure is not painful. Postoperatively there is minimal discomfort and patients get back to their normal activities within 24-48 hours.
Will sinus problems go away on their own?
Temporary sinus symptoms may improve, but persistent or recurrent issues often require evaluation.
Are procedures always necessary?
Many sinus conditions are initially managed with medical therapy. Procedures are considered when appropriate based on evaluation.
