Question 4

can sinus pressure be the cause of my vocal nasality?

Accepted Answer

Hyponasal speech...: can be due to nasal and sinus congestion. Swelling inside the nose due to the common cold or allergies or even a sinus infection can lead to less air flow through the nose resulting in a nasal voice (hyponasal) as if you're speaking while holding your nose shut. Sinus pressure can also be due some of the above causes, so yes you may have both symptoms as a result of nasal congestion.

Sinus issues: Some of the more common causes of loss of taste and smell are tobacco use, pollutants, the common cold or chronic sinus problems, allergies, medications like antibiotics and blood pressure medicines, tooth and gum diseases.  In your case it's most likely due to your sinuses issues.  None of the meds you're taking are known for doing it.  Your primary care doc can help you with this

Sinus infection: Is most likely cause. See you medical doctor or ear, nose and throat specialist for an evaluation.  If infection is present then an antibiotic may be needed.

Question 9

can sinus pressure cause blurred vision?

Accepted Answer

Sinus pressure: Possible, most likely due to medications for sinus pressure where one side effect is blurred vision.

can sinus pressure cause strobe light flashes in your eyes?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Sinus pressure and infection can cause a pressure sensation behind the eyes (and rarely orbital infection), but it should not cause visual symptoms.
