Brief Answer:
Yes symptoms suggest sinusitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have studied your case,
All other symptoms suggest sinusitis but anxiety and panic attacks are not usually associated with anxiety or panic attacks.
You need to continue antibiotic and decongestant.
Check your blood pressure and maintain your proper diet for early recovery.
Anxiety and panic attacks may be due to side effects of some medication you are taking, talk with your treating doctor regarding that.
Take steam inhalation and warm water gargle with betadine/tantrum solution.
For early recovery drink plenty of water, eat easily digestible food, improve immunity, and take fruit juices and soups.
If required then you may need to do blood investigation to rule out other infection.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
