I went to my primary yesterday and i was told that i have acute sinusitis, acute rhinitis, acute allergic and serous otitis media. can any of these cause shortness of breath?

Yes... But : If you have all those diagnosis the underplaying cause is an infection, which can spread, to the lung. Sinusitis can lead to post nasal drip and cause shortness of breath, but so can a bronchitis or pneumonia.... If you don't get better shortly or get worse head back over to his office.

Not likely: Shortness of breath describes lower respiratory symptoms such as can be seen with asthma, pneumonia or other lung problems. By themselves, rhinitis (nose), sinusitis (sinuses) and otitis media (ears) don't directly cause shortness of breath. Suggest re-evaluation of shortness of breath.

Airway inflammation: Greetings. Your symptoms are the optimal signs to describe how the upper and lower airway are affected as one. Upper airway infection like sinusitis/rhinitis/otitis can cause lower airway inflammation such as cough, bronchitis and shortness or breath. See your doctor for confirmation.
