Anxiety and sinuses

Does anyone get bad sinuses or a bad cold (stuffy nose, full head, pressure in your head) and it just makes your anxiety so much worse? Makes your vision all blurry. I went to urgent care earlier and told them about my sinuses and the lady told me that sinuses don't cause dizziness and pressure in your head and told me to go to the ER.. I walked out lol. Anyone ever feel these kinds of things?

Yes when I get stuffed up from being sick my anxiety gose crazy my head feels full and pressure your not alone

I feel like im dying plus it's been in the 100s here and had a wild fire close. My memory is so shot I can't think straight.

Your under alot of stress and memory issues is a huge symptom of anxiety. I have server gad severe panic attacks with night terrors my days are mostly hell but I am beating it you can to get a med doctor and coinciler it will make a world of difference

Are you taking anything? Probably going to take an ativan tonight

you might want to try a sinus rinse.  I find it very helpful.

What's a sinus rinse?

Sinus rinse is like a nasal douche.  The nasal cavity is washed to flush out excess mucus and debris from the nose and sinuses.  I'm sure if you go to a pharmacy or drug store you will find it.
