A member asked:
I suffer from chronic sinus infection and when i do it seems like i have numbness on the left side of my face and chin area mostly when laying down?

Not always normal: Numbness of the face with a sinus infection may indicate something of greater concern as it means the infraorbital (under the eye) nerve is affected in some way. One reason for this is a tumor. A medical evaluation is warranted.
