Hi! I've been sick for going on 4 months now. I've recently found out I need sinus surgery. I have gone through every syptoms and emotion possible. What my question is, is recently I've had panic attacks. Going on about two weeks now. Feel very irritable, angry and tired. Sometimes (and I'm guessing from the panic attacks) I will feel like I'm in a dream state and my eye sight seems extremely clear. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced these syptoms with a chronic sinus infection! I'm hoping it goes away with surgery. Fingers crossed
Yes! Same here. Been very down the last two weeks. I have to keep telling myself it's just a side effect from the infection. I'm hoping the surgery helps. My panic attacks have gotten to the point were I feel like I have afibs. Went for a EKG and it was normal. It's so draining
Same! I've been with my sinusitis for like 3/4 months already. Pressure all over my face (not TOO bad but can get bad sometimes) and anxiety now. But I get derealization a lot it's scary feels like your losing your mind. When's your surgery??
Wow your in the exact same boat as me! Not sure when my surgery is, waiting on insurance. I'm on antibiotics and steroids right now. I'm hoping the panic attacks go away with the surgery
Yea basically ! lol I think I was allergic from something from vegas cause that's when it started and it was my first time going . But I actually have swollen turbinates do you? (When I flash a light in my nose it almost looks sealed up it looks swollen inside) how many ENT visits did it fake for them to decide surgery was best? I have my next visit till the 26th it's been like 2 months since I've gone. And I've been on steroid spray for 3 months already and nothing so I hope they don't lag it no more. And regarding your panic attacks who knows. Mine stopped I just have regular anxiety now. Could be you might just have anxiety now too hopefully not tho!

Hey, i've been suffering with this problem since i was 16, it started out as a strange pain through my head, after it got worse and worse i was eventually diagnosed with a sinus infection, i was put on antibiotics (didn't do sh*t) after 3 months i started honestly thinking i had a brain tumor, living constantly in fear everyday that something was wrong with my brain, i have been on tons of different antibiotics, but nothing seems to work, just recently, i noticed i've been getting these strange feelings through my body, my legs and my head and neck, moving my neck to the left or right makes me feel like i can't breathe, i had a cat scan and everythingg showed up clear, i had a mri done on my brain just incase and everything was good except i have a signus infection (also had blood tests done) i've been feeling like i'm not me, like i can move my arms and legs but it feels like i can't or don't know what i doing, my vision gets all strange almost like it's hd and it honestly scares me, even sometimes feels like i can't talk, i was put on paxil at the age of 17 (about two weeks ago) took it for 4 days and stopped because i read about how hard it is to get off of it, at this point i don't know what to do with myself, every day is a constant struggle, i have a appointment with a ent on friday, i wish you ALL the best.
Hello I to have had these symptoms and have been told I have chronic sinus infection. I also suffer with anxiety which makes th efeeling worse and have been told all my bloods which I have had 3 test were all rised for inflammation so doctor had me worrying until todays doctor said thats oribably due to the sinus cavities inflammed. Have you been given any meds?xx
Hello I understand everything you wrote as I have had these symptoms too and thought something was terribly wrong. I have not had anuy scans just bloods which showed raised inflammation markers. Were all your bloods okay? How are you feelign now?X
Been given antibiotics and steroids after almost 4-5 months of being sick. That makes my anxiety and panic worse and messes with my heart. I still haven't gotten an apt for sinus surgery. I feel like it will never end
I too have been given so mant types of anti biotics am currently on what I think is my 5Th perscription & doctor today has given me nose spray and pills too take at night and I have toog o back in 2months have you had any bloods done? Are you on anything for your anxiety?
Still sick! I need sinus surgery and I've been waiting for almost two weeks to get the ok, still nothing! My panic attacks have changed symptoms to where it feels like I can't breath and have heart problems. I feel like it will never end!
that is terrible it makes mine look like nothing, i got deviated septum surgery 8 weeks ago and i am still really bad with mucos, i am on antibiotics, saline rinse and nasel spray and i think its worse now. i really hope you get some relief soon its a really bad complaint
It depends what type of surger you are getting, I got the deviated septum surgery done on 15 august, dont worry about it its not to bad but i have to go back up for another check up as mucus is still very bad, Take a bit of exercise and dont worry.
same here, i searched the topic and you were already here with exact same condition that i have been through.. i feel you
i am suffering from severe panic attacks and I am being anxious all the time and for a long time I didn't know what was the reason, I think what I'm having is an acute sinusitis but it is costing me Head and face pressure that will drive you crazy. Now that I have read your Story I am weirdly happy that I can share it to someone else that understand what's happening. I wish for your fast recovery and hope everything's gonna be all right after the surgery.
hopefully not tho! Try to exercise eat healthy and all that to relieve stress
