Mouth breathing, the habit of breathing through your mouth rather than your nose, is an unpleasant side effect of sinus problems and can cause several health issues. According to Dr. John Ditto of Richmond Breathe Free, nose breathing is better for your health.

Symptoms of a sinus headache include swelling in the face, a feeling of fullness in the ears, a fever and persistent pain.

During Mental Health Awareness Month, a correlation is being brought to light between depression and the condition known as sinusitis.

Sinus problems aren't always confined to the sinuses, said Dr. John Ditto of Richmond Breathe Free Sinus and Allergy Centers.

A Korean study recently discovered that those who suffer from chronic sinusitis are also more susceptible to developing depression, according to Physician's Weekly.
