How Life Is Affected?
Less Productivity
You will find it difficult to focus on certain tasks when you have a constant, persistent sense of pain and pressure in the face. People who have problems with chronic sinuses often complain that they feel like their brains are fogged around.
This brain fog can impair your ability to make things happen. You may stay home from work or miss school because you feel uncomfortable. Or you may enter the office or the classroom but try to concentrate on the tasks ahead.
Increased Cost
Chronic sinusitis increases the cost of life. First of all, there are the days you miss at work, especially if you do not have paid sick days.
Then you have to deal with the issue at cost and alleviate your inconvenience. In order to keep your nasal passes moisturized, you can invest in products such as humidifiers. If your condition is caused by a bacterium, you may also have to pay for prescription antibiotics.
You may finally pay for the surgery to get a break from the symptoms depending on the severity of the sinusitis.
Less Enjoyment
If you feel miserable, the things you used to love are less likely to rejoice. A study of people with chronic sinusitis found that over a third of them reported adverse social and recreational consequences. More than a third of the respondents noted a reduction in the quality of their sex life, along with hobbies and leisure activities.
Poor Sleep
Reduced sleep ability is another common problem for people with chronic sinus infection. Either people cannot sleep a full night or their quality of sleep decreases substantially. This problem has a number of reasons. Congestion linked to chronic symptoms can make it hard to breathe, making it hard for you to drift away.
In the case of people with chronic sinus problems there could also be an increased risk of sleep apnea. Your breathing is broken throughout your sleep when you have sleep apnea. People with this condition are not as deep as they should sleep and often wake up briefly during the entire night.
