Sinus inflammation (sinusitis) can cause
shortness of breath and the other
reactions that you have described. You can
immediately visit an ENT-specialist. You
will probably be given an antibiotic and
corticosteroids prescribed by the doctor.
You can also use decongestive nose-drops 3
times per day but not more than 5 days.
Warming the sinuses with an infrared-light
lamp is also very useful when you are
experiencing cold.
