Q: Tell your doctor what is bothering you in detail. Have you always had sinus issues or is this a new problem for you? Do you find that you feel better or worse at a certain time of the day? How are you currently finding relief? Be specific about your symptoms because the more details you provide your doctor, the better equipped they will be to help your particular condition. Other questions your doctor may ask: Do you have drainage? If so, how much and how frequent? What is the color and consistency? Do you feel facial pain or fullness? Reduction or loss of smell? If any of the following are present, you may have a condition more serious conditions than sinus congestion that needs immediate treatment: high fever, double or reduced vision, swelling around the eyes, pain when moving eyes, severe headache, stiff neck that is painful to move, or significant or recurrent nosebleeds.

For an allergy blood test, the idea is similar to that of a skin prick test. If your doctor recommends this test, know that the key difference is that rather than pricking your skin, your doctor will draw vials of blood to test for allergen sensitivities.

These scans generate an image of your sinuses, so your doctor can see if your issues are being caused by a physical problem like a deviated septum. If your doctor sees no physical problem, then they can rule out physical causes of your sinus problems.
