What Causes Sinus Problems?

Sinus Problems occur when the openings into the sinus become blocked. This is when symptoms of nasal congestion, coughing, facial pressure, fatigue and other symptoms take place. Colds or other infections, allergies or physical obstructions may lead to "sinus shutdown" or blockages in the sinuses. This is usually the result of a swollen sinus lining or damage cilia that can not effectively clear your sinuses of mucus. Stress can also contribute to sinus problems.
