A study suggest that sinus problems can be associated with unexplained fatigue and bodily pain.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is difficult to both diagnose and treat. However, doctors at Georgetown University Medical Center have discovered an unexpected connection with sinus symptoms.
They questioned 297 patients and noted unexplained fatigue in 22 per cent and chronic pain in 11 per cent. Nine per cent of patients had both problems.This was not unexpected. But it was a surprise to learn that so many patients in this group also had sinus symptoms.
According to the study, sinus symptoms were nine times more common among patients with fatigue and six times more common among those with chronic pain. Fifteen of the patients with fatigue in this study could be diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and most of them had sinus syptoms. Hopefully further research can determine whether treating sinus problems also helps with chronic fatigue
