subject: Can Sinusitis Really Affect My Vision? [print this page] A common cold, bacteria or even a fungal infection can quickly cause an onset of chronic sinusitis. When dealing with sinusitis, there are a number of problems one may come face to face with. Vision problems, congestion, throbbing headaches, reduced sense of smell or taste, ear pain, fatigue and even bad breath are only some of those problems. Although most of the aforementioned symptoms can be managed fairly easily, sinusitis vision problems can be very problematic.
Although there are some more threatening than others, there are a number of problems that link sinusitis to vision issues. These are problems such as;
Vision being unclear in one eye, pain if pressure is applied to one eye, difficulty seeing things that are far away, unclear and blurred vision and double site (seeing two things at once)
It is possible that these problems will go away once you have treated sinusitis, however, there have been reports of these symptoms staying even after the case of sinusitis has gone.
If you sense your eyesight becoming worse then you should take immediate action to handle the issue. You can treat sinusitis with either conventional medicines or holistic remedies. For the decongesting of mucus you could have conventional medicine which also helps with other symptoms of sinusitis. However, it is most important to check with your doctor or medical professional before ingesting any form of medication.
As a better alternative, you could have herbal remedies which are just as good in treatment and are easily made. One of the biggest benefits of using herbal remedies is that they do not disrupt your immune system so healing becomes easy. The best herbs for healing sinusitis are; goldenseal, ginger, peppermint, grapefruit seeds, and oregano. These can all be super effective when it comes to healing. However, if you want even more information then seek the help of a trained herbalist. He or she would take a small amount of money to give you an effective herbal remedy
If your vision is starting to get really bad then you should ask your physician to point you in the right direction. You will gain more information on the problem and then you can see to treatment. Although it is not a life threatening illness, sinusitis can become very annoying and maybe even lethal if it is not treated quickly and properly. Thankfully, nobody has completely lost their eyesight because of sinusitis. However you should still treat the condition seriously so the vision does not worsen even more. More importantly, don't wait for signs. Treat it immediately if you think you have sinusitis as later on the problems could escalate.
