Cardiologist, Dr. Ilir Sharka's Response

Hi,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your situation could be related to a sinus infection.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam, a sinus X-ray study and nasal drip bacterial culture.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
