sinusitis and asthma

[Guest guest]

Sinuses and lungs are both airways. Inflammation in one may lead to

inflammation in the other. For me, it usually starts in my sinuses and

then works its way down to my lungs. It may start in the lungs for

other folks. I have huge inflammatory issues and terrible allergic

sinus disease, so 9.5 times out of 10, my asthma episode will be

triggered by sinuses. Also, mucus in the sinuses can drain straight to

the lungs and cause asthma episodes that way.

As for me, I saw improvement in my asthma first, and it took a little

longer to see improvement in my allergic sinuses from Xolair. But I've

had huge improvement in my allergic sinus disease thanks to xolair.

Take care, all,
