Sinus specialists are ENT (ear, nose and throat) doctors who specialize in illnesses of the sinuses. If you’re experiencing nasal problems, you may need to find a sinus specialist doctor in Port St. Lucie.
Although they are not directly inside the nose, sinuses are fundamental to an optimal respiratory function. They are hollow cavities that humidify the air inside the nose, improving respiration.
Whenever a virus or some bacteria causes inflammation in the sinuses, known as sinusitis, your whole nose is affected. However, many times the symptoms can be confused with those of a cold, so people ignore them.
If you experience more than one of the following symptoms for a period longer than two weeks, you should see a sinus specialist doctor in Port St. Lucie.
Facial pain
As sinuses are located behind the nose, cheekbones and forehead and between the eyes, their inflammation will cause pain in these areas. The pressure of the sinuses can also cause headaches, earaches and pain in the jaws.
Congestion
When sinuses are affected by an infection, a mucous liquid is produced. This nasal discharge can drain to the nose and throat. This can cause the sensation of a blocked nose, discharge down the nose and throat, a nasal or stuffy voice, and a reduced sense of smell and taste.
Sore throat
Having nasal discharge running down the throat, a condition medically known as postnasal drip, can wear down the throat and leave it raw. This in turn causes conditions like a sore throat, coughing and a hoarse voice.
Reduced wellbeing
Having all these symptoms for several weeks wears the body down, especially in chronic sinusitis, where they last for months. Therefore, you will experience problem sleeping, constant fatigue and exhaustion, and a general sense of ill-being.
