Question 2

Not always normal: Numbness of the face with a sinus infection may indicate something of greater concern as it means the infraorbital  (under the eye) nerve is affected in some way. One reason for this is a tumor. A medical evaluation is warranted.

Question 4

Nerve: If you were much over 50's , I urge you to go to the ER ASAP to rule out a transient ischemic attack. If you are under and the problem does not go away by tomorrow , see your doctor .   These are not the usual symptoms from sinus infection.

Disk disease: Cervical disk disease (a pinched nerve) could cause the numbness and a neck x-ray would be helpful as a start before worrying about ms.  The sinusitis may be a coincidence.

Question 10

i woke up with a blurry spot in my left eye. no other symptoms like numbness, pain, filmy eyeetc. i may have a sinus infection. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Blurred vision: Blurred vision can be due to any number of things.  If you woke up with blurry vision, it's possible your eye was open during the night and it is now dry, causing blurry vision, especially if you normally sleep on the same side.  If the blurry spot enlarges, becomes more dense, or generally is not improving within 24 hours and no associated symptoms, should have eye doctor look soon.
