Chronic sinusitis causing anxiety & depression??
Posted , 32 users are following.
Hello everyone, I've noticed since I've been dealing with chronic sinusitis for a long time that I've been having really bad waves of depression as well as anxiety. I didn't have these issues before I also have trouble thinking and even have unwanted negative thoughts etc.
Anybody else experienced this as a result of chronic sinus infection??
I've also noticed since I've been sick with this I am extra sensitive to caffeine, sugar and stimulants. Thoughts???
Thanks

The sinuses are so close to the brain. I have brain fog, anxiety, depression, broken thoughts, unwanted thoughts it's just terrible. I have surgery scheduled in a week!

did the sugery fix the unwanted scary thoughts? I'm having sugery Friday and I wasn't depressed or anxious until I was diagnosed with chronic sinusitis and have had really bad periods of illness.

Hi Jamie, I've been having nasal pressure/pulsation for over 2 years now and I've had mri/ct scans which showed I have an obstructed maxillary infundibulum and I'm on the waiting list for an operation. Just wondering though do you get scary thoughts because I do, they come from nowhere and it's usually the same thought but I can't remember in detail what it was. Really frustrating! My head feels a kind of claustrophobic when it happens.
