Sinusitis

Sinusitis is meaning as the inflammation of sinus.

Coronal section of nasal cavity and both of maxillary sinuses

As you can see from the above image, the sinuses are usually the empty space and maybe filled with the air. However, due to the any reasons, if you have lots of phlegm/mucus in the nasal cavity, there is a hole to drain the excessive phlegm/mucus to the sinues for storing the excessive phlegm/mucus temporary, in order to make the nasal cavity to open up to make breathe through the nose. However, if there are too much phlgem/mucus, after they are filled at the sinuses, the left-over phlem/mucus will stay at the nasal cavity. So you’ll feel the blockage of the nose. Many patients couldn’t breathe through the mouth, therefore, their oxgen level(SPO2) may be going down, leading to be going the stress hormone up, eventually, the patients may have the vivid dreams, palpitation, sometimes panic attacks, and waking up during the night with taking long time to sleep back due to the high level of cortisol level.

Why does the patienst have too much phlegm/mucus?

Lung is the major organ to take the oxgen inside of our body through the gas exchange at the avelora of Lung.

Thyroid Disorders

The thyroid gland is located below Adam’s apple. That is relieving thyroxine to your blood stream.

From 2004 anatomical chart company

Thyroxine is affecting several areas such as your energy metabolism, weight gain or loss, sleeping pattern, skin and hair, fertility and menstruation, memory and concentration, bone strength, cholesterol. If your thyroid is not functioning properly such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism due to various reasons, you have problems. The brain stimulates the thyroid through TSH (thyroid stimulation hormone) to make thyroxine by thyroid. If your thyroxine level is going too high, your brain will reduce TSH to reduce stimulation of thyroid, leading to reduction of thyroxine. If your thyroxine level is too low, your brain will produce more TSH to stimulate thyroid, leading to production of thyroxine.

Problem is when your thyroid is not functioning properly with a certain reason thyroxine is not regulating as desired.

From 2004 anatomical chart company

The major problem is inflammation of thyroid for many reasons such as stress, cancer, autoimmune disease etc

Hypothyroidism

If thyroid is inflamed, thyroid is not producing enough thyroxine even though stimulation of TSH.

Hyperthyroidism

Or if thyroid is inflamed, thyroid is producing too much thyroxine which is not controlled by TSH.
