Question: I had a bad sinus infection, and now I have pressure in my chest and I'm grunting when I exhale. Is this serious, from what I've read online it sounds like maybe a touch of bronchitis, but I'm not coughing.

Detailed Answer:
Hii. It may be allergic rhinosinusitis along with any infection of the lung. So please consult an Ent surgeon and chest physician. Get your sinuses and chest checked.

If required you may need to do a pulmonary function test and get sputum sent for culture and start antibiotics according to the report. So please follow the above advice and review if you have any queries.
