If recurring sinus pain, pressure and headaches are part of everyday life, you may be suffering from sinusitis, a chronic and acute sinus condition that affects 37 million Americans annually. While these symptoms can be similar to those caused by allergies, sinusitis requires treatments that can include adjustments to daily life, use of prescription and other medications and balloon sinuplasty surgery, a noninvasive surgery that opens your nasal cavities to promote healthier breathing.
