Suggest Suitable Treatment For A Sinus Infection
I am a black female, fifty-six years of age, 5ft 3' and approximately 180 lbs. Occasionally I have a sinus infection. I am taking 1.5 mg Natrilix daily for hypertension and 10 mg Crestor for cholesterol. Over the past three weeks I have had an irritating cough which my doctor attributes to a sinus drip. Today, I started having a bubbly feeling in the center of my chest, somewhere between my breasts. When it happens, I am forced to cough nd there is a feeling as if I am not getting enough oxygen.

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
It could have started as Sinus drip but now it seems like it is extending into your throat and the chest.
You need to get examined to check whether your throat is infected or not and if infection is there you need to be started on Antibiotic course .
Till then do salt water gargling, drink hot water, Avoid Non veg and oily food . Avoid Citrus Fruits.
