Sinus pressure can lead to sinus infection due to the accumulation and stagnation of mucus in the sinus cavities--green and yellow mucus should especially be watched. Obviously, it is important to become acquainted with the symptoms of sinus pressure; also because they can mimic other ailments' symptoms. For example: colds, a passing congestion, a simple headache, etc. Considering that sinus pressure can be a prelude to or be associated with other sinus problems such as sinus infection, green snot, etc., it is wise to know the symptoms of sinus pressure and find out how to obtain sinus pressure relief.
This is not an all inclusive list and not all these symptoms need to appear to have sinus pressure--the typical case may include just a few of them. A sinus pressure that is not taken care of soon can develop into a sinus infection with sinus drainage(post-nasal drip), In a severe case of sinus pressure vomiting, nasal pus problems and breathing difficulties may appear. Some of the above symptoms can appear after ingesting some specific foods. If the sinuses have been clear before eating, for example, and they become congested soon thereafter it can be an indication that some foods are causing the congestion and possible eventual pressure. Even clear mucus--the good kind of mucus--if it is excessive it could irritate the sinus membranes and passages and create some complications. Sometimes a misalignment of some vertebra can cause pressure on the spinal cord and affect nerve energy going through. This, in turn, can cause undesirable symptoms like sinus pressure or on some other part of the body. Some foods are mucus producing and should be avoided if a person has chronic sinus pressure or while experimenting those sinus pressure symptoms.
Sometimes the nasal cavity accumulates mucus, debris and contaminants which should be removed, since it can affect the amount of air going to the sinus cavities and can help create infection. A steam rinse or a nasal irrigation is often very beneficial in thoses cases. A state of the art pulsating irrigation devise can do the job well.
