Can sinus infections cause anxiety attack?

Anxiety from pain.: Sinus infections if frequent or persistent can lead to headache, stress, and frustration and hence anxiety attack.

Well, sure: Anxiety has no specific inciting "test book" events that cause attacks, but each individual may act differently to stressors around them. Certainly, a sinus infection may cause someone with anxiety to get stressed and have an "attack."
