Hello, I am a 19 years old female. I sometimes experience fuzziness and I have difficulty remembering things. A few months back I was diagnosed with a sinus infection. Is this because of brain fog? Can sinus infection cause brain fog? Can sinus infection cause brain fog?

@eva Sinusitis is an inflammation or swelling of the tissues within the nasal passages due to infection. What is usually filled with air and free-flowing mucus, the nasal cavities when blocked can quickly block the airway and breed infection. Brain fog is one of the most common symptoms of chronic sinusitis. In order to treat the symptoms, including brain fog, the doctors must treat the underlying cause, which is usually the swelling and inflammation of the nasal passages. Do inform your doctor about your symptoms.
