SinusAin'tYourFriend: Yes, allergies alone can cause a "boggy" sinus lining and maybe look like sinusitis on an MRI,. But if you don't have symptoms (like pain,pressure, fever, nasal discharge) then you don't have active sinusitis! Probably best to get the ENT's exam and opinion. The sinuses are funny structures. They don't drain well and once an infection sets in it's hard to get rid of. Same for allergic "bogginess."

Chronic sinusitis: Is usually a silent disesse, it flares up with any infection, if not aggressively managed it can stay dormant for sometime, yes allergies can be a cause, and yes it can be treated, keep your appointment with the ENT, wish you wellness
