Sinusitis? Hum.: Are you certain it is sinusitis? Belly pain is not sinusitis.
If you nose remains plugged up, you can use humming, lots of green tea with lemon and honey, and warm compresses over your nose and below your eyes.
Ask your doctor about using the Grossan Hydro Pulse to clear your nose and sinuses.

Could be years: There are many variables that affect treatment. If the lesions small and asymptomatic, simple observation is appropriate. The typically do not grow quickly. However, if symptoms start to develop, your doctors should talk to you in detail about your options for radiation and surgery and the risks and benefits of each.

Syncope and death.: The sinus node is a bundle of heart cells concentrated in the right atrium that normally sets off each heart beat for life. Arteriosclerosis may slowly, or rapidly in a heart attack, destroy these cells and lead to very abnormal, usually very slow, heart rates. If the rate slowed down to perhaps 30's, one may pass out, if worse, one may not wake up. Once the diagnosis is clear, need pacemaker.

Heart rate problem: Sick sinus syndrome is a vague medical term referring to a problem with the heart's sinus rhythm. It can include rhythms that are too fast, too slow, irregular, or all of the above. If symptomatic, it is often treated with a pacemaker. It can be a symptom of aging, or of a deeper problem. Definitely, get it checked out asap.
