Chronic sinusitis is a common condition that affects an estimated 28.9 million adults in the US each year. It is characterized by the irritation, swelling, or inflammation of the tissues lining the sinus passages. This inflammation can cause a blockage in the nasal passages. This may lead to common symptoms like nasal congestion, breathing difficulties, sinus pain and pressure, headache, fatigue, and a reduced sense of smell or taste.
While medications may help manage mild sinusitis, more persistent or chronic cases may require a different approach–such as the consideration of the Propel sinus implant, depending on individual evaluations.
