Wayne,I see what you mean ; there was a point where I had involuntary panic attacks for minor reasons (e.g. excess noise, etc), and this clearly happened at a time when I had severe sinus nerve inflammation. An ENT professor I met told me he planned to investigate the correlation between sinusitis severity and nervousness, but one does not need to be a professor to see the connection between inflammation and neurological stress. What else can you expect when peripheral neurons get showered with inflammatory products ?>> > Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (2010, November 30).
