The sinus: issue is a CHRONIC problem and indicates low grade infection or allergic response or both...you will have to ask for the "reading" to find out about the nerve issue! Hope this helps Dr Z

Sinus disease: You could have this evaluated by an ENT physician clarify when it's impact is. I do not know if it would mimic the symptoms you had that thought you had a pinched nerve
