Fatigue
The body requires more energy to fight a sinus infection, making people with this condition feel tired, sluggish, or fatigued. In some cases, people experience exhaustion when they have trouble breathing or are in pain.
For a long time, sinus infections, also known as sinusitis, have been linked to chronic fatigue syndrome. It is a medical condition where no hours of rest seem to restore one’s normal, alert state. However, it is important to mention that a sinus infection doesn’t cause chronic fatigue syndrome.
The fatigue associated with a sinus infection can be severe at times. In addition, other signs of sinusitis, like congestion, facial pain, and coughing, can cause difficulty sleeping, exacerbating the situation. Consult a doctor when showing sinus infection or if the feeling of fatigue doesn’t go away. Certain home remedies, medications, and (in extreme cases) surgical options may also be beneficial.
Meanwhile, some suggestions for getting some much-needed rest while addressing a sinus infection, like drinking herbal teas for better sleep, using a humidifier, and staying away from devices before bed, may be beneficial. Lavender, magnolia, and chamomile tea are among the best ones to drink before bedtime to improve sleep.
