If you’re experiencing sinus pain, dizziness or sinus headaches it might be time to have your sinuses tested by a Ears Tachometer (ETS) to determine sinus tachycardia or sinuses congestive.

Sinus Tachycardia or IRT is caused by problems with blood flow to and from your brain and your body’s vascular system. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia is a clinical syndrome associated with a sinus high heart rate. Symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, or weakness without any underlying causes. Sinus congestion, sinusitis, or meningitis can also cause this condition.

An Ears Tachometer measures how fast your ears “talk” to your brain. It’s a fact that the majority of us have no idea how our sinuses work. There are four sinuses in each of your ears and they are located in a very shallow part of the eardrum called the uvula. You can’t feel them, so they’re not part of your sense of touch.

What Are Complications Of Chronic Sinusitis?

Chronic sinusitis is a swelling of the membrane covering the sinuses, which can be caused by exposure to infection, drug abuse, or chronic inflammation, or overproduction of the body’s natural mucous. People with chronic sinusitis are prone to developing hypertension. Sinusitis increases the activity of the cardiovascular system. Chronic sinusitis and methamphetamine use go hand in hand because increased blood flow to the heart can increase heart rate and cause tachycardia, especially in people with congestive heart failure. Also, increased fluid production can increase pressure. If you think that you have a sinus infection, it is important to see your doctor determine whether you have IRT or not.

The other serious complication of IRT and hypertension is the development of paralytic ileus. With paralytic ileus, there is complete blockage of the jugular veins (the veins that supply blood to the brain). Because this condition is potentially life-threatening, it must be managed aggressively and treated in a hospital setting. People who develop cerebral palsy secondary to hypertension and IRT are particularly at risk for developing irreversible paralysis of the jugular veins.

Sinus Tachycardia And Hypertension

These two can be difficult to diagnose initially because they are symptoms of sinusitis. Sometimes, symptoms are mistaken for other sinus problems such as strep throat, sinusitis, sinus congestion, sinus infection or allergic sinusitis. If you believe that you are suffering from methamphetamine, you should immediately contact your health care provider. A specialist may be required to conduct laboratory tests in order to determine the exact cause of your symptoms. It is possible that IRT may be the cause of your symptoms; however, it is also possible that there are other causes contributing to your symptoms.

Two of the most common conditions that can cause symptoms of IRT and hypertension are severe depression and neck pain. Depression is very common in individuals who are experiencing significant stress and the symptoms of depression can mimic those of IRT. When depression and stress are both present, it is very difficult to determine if one is causing the other. Some people are more stressed than others are; however, no one can really tell which condition is causing another until proper testing has been conducted. The medical treatment for depression and stress can be the same. However, treatment for the symptoms of IRT might require an evaluation and diagnosis by a physician or other qualified medical professional.

Sinusitis, Sinus Congestion And Sinus Infection Can All Be Causes For Sinus Tachycardia Symptoms

If one has congestion and sinus pain along with IRT symptoms, one should see their physician in order to obtain proper treatment. It is possible that sinusitis and sinus infection is somehow involved in the cause of your symptoms. Individuals should be tested for sinusitis and sinus infection to determine what is causing them.

In conclusion, sinusitis, sinus congestion, and sinus infections can all be causes of sinus tachycardia symptoms. There are medications available for sinus relief, such as sinus drops and other nasal sprays. Individuals who suffer from sinus problems are encouraged to seek medical attention at the first sign of discomfort. With sinus tachycardia, a doctor will be able to determine the cause and recommend treatment.
