Question 1

what is ethmoid sinus mucosal disease?

Accepted Answer

Between the eyes: The ethmoid sinuses are between the eyes and are commonly the result of viral and or bacterial infections starting in the nose.  The answer to your question is the ethmoid sinuses are infected and the lining membrane is thickened.  The only method to prove your diagnosis is with a cat scan of the sinuses.

Question 2

recent ct scan show mucosal thickening in ethmoid sinus.  have balloon sinuplasty scheduled, but curious....symptoms onset coincided with starting to use a fitibit.  any possibility that they are related (i.e. medial nerve irritant)?  or coincidence?

Accepted Answer

Detective work: To decide whether or not facial sinus symptoms are related to getting a Fitbit or merely coincidental requires detective work. What changed in one's life after getting the Fitbit? If one started exercising with others, that would mean more exposures to potential upper respiratory infections. If one started walking or running outdoors, that means more exposures to airborne allergens and irritants.
