What Causes Facial Pain Along With Sinusitis?

In May of 2014, I moved in to a duplex. The previous renters had been evicted for drugs and the place was wrecked. That summer, four fillings fell out. In October, I became sick with breathing problems that I first thought to be bronchitis, but it got worse and worse. After two ER visits and severe hoarseness and breathing issues, I called my natural gas company that came and found a gas leak at the line to the furnace and a carbon monoxide leak at the water heater. I have been following up with my primary doctor, saw an allergy asthma doctor (who first said I had asthma though I had never been diagnosed), but my primary agrees that I do not have asthma. I have been to a pulmonary specialist and they found nothing. I have been to a sinus specialist who did surgery about 10-15 years ago and he said nothing though I ve had facial pain and what seemed sinus infection symptoms. Now, my front teeth are greatly deterioriated. I chipped at front tooth and more and more goes away each day. I went to the dentist and he scheduled a great deal of work. The next day the tooth next to my front teeth fell out. I went in and he drilled and put in a temporary but said it needs bridge at minimum. However, the pain is the same as I have been experiencing - not at my tooth but up beside my nose in my nasal cavity and even when I sleep on that side I wake up feeling like that side is stuffy . There has been nothing productive from blowing or nasal rinse. I ve also had a sensation to grind ever since this occurred - a new sensation that I asked poison control about. Who can help me?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Well, your problem of hoarseness and breathing issues seems to be most probably due to the gas leakage , you were continuously breathing poisonous gases although the amount must be less but continuous intake can lead to toxicity and breathing and other lung related problem.
As the x ray is fine with no signs of asthma then you need not to worry.
Pain on face or facial pain seems to be due to radiating pain from wrecked teeth and also there can be sinus inflammation.
So yes the teeth should be treated at first to prevent further damage and loss of teeth..
Grinding of teeth can also cause damage to the teeth and when the body is under stress it can happen.
You should also get a complete blood count done.
It will be better if you vacate the place and get into some clean residence.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
