Sinus conditions have the potential to interfere with more than just the sinus area. When our airways are obstructed by inflamed sinuses and or severe congestion, the inability to breathe can impact our heart, the cardiovascular system as well as other body systems. There is a rhythm that exists between our breathing and heart referred to as the Sinuatrial Node aka sinus node. The sinus node refers to the cells in the heart that have an electrical charge and “beat”. The “beat” of the heart sets a rhythm that also corresponds to breathing, pumping in oxygen. In addition, the blood which carries oxygen to the body will cause the heart to beat faster if there is not enough oxygen coming in to the body through the airways; when there is not enough oxygen the heart will beat faster as a fight or flight response. There are feedback mechanisms that assist with maintaining body functions e.g. breathing, heart rate, body temperature. When there is not enough air coming in, or if there is an infection or fever for example, the heart will also beat faster. A normal heart rate is between 60-90 beats per minute approximately, although a normal heart rate varies significantly with age. Airway disruption The obstruction of an airway can trigger many responses that induce a fight or flight response. Lack of oxygen triggers a rapid heartbeat. However, a rapid heartbeat can also be triggered if there is a serious infection. The sinus rhythm can be disrupted in many ways but a rapid heartbeat is the body’s way of getting oxygen to vital organs as well as trying to restore functioning and releasing adrenaline. A blocked airway, therefore can impact our breathing, our heart and other body functions. Tachycardia is characterized by a rapid heartbeat that is over 100 beats per minute and there are several causes of tachycardia. The experience of rapid beat is somewhat alarming as it is felt as a strong fluttering in the chest. Disruption in the airways during a sinusitis infection can produce a sinusitis tachycardia infection as a result of the respiratory function being connected to the cardiac functions. Excess blockage in the sinus cavity Sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses that usually is caused by a blockage in the sinus cavity by foreign debris. The result of having a blockage of bacteria, fungi or virus is excess mucus production in the sinus cavities and inflammation due to the pathogens attacking the sinus cavity openings. When the sinus cavity openings are attacked this leads to a more serious sinus infection. Sinusitis develops typically as a result when there is existing inflammation from a cold or allergy. When bacteria get into the sinus cavities, they attack the swelling of the cavity lining, causing more inflammation. During a sinusitis infection, the cilia which are small hairs in the nasal passageways cannot perform their function of removing the debris that is blocked inside the sinus cavity. There are a myriad of symptoms that take place with a sinusitis infection. Common symptoms of a sinusitis infection include: cough, upper respiratory congestion, postnasal drip, nasal discharge, fever, facial pain and facial pressure. Tachycardia is related to sick sinus syndrome, which is an abnormal beating of the heart, due to the sinus node. Tachycardia may require medication and can be treated with stabilizing heart medications or electrical conversion. Sinusitis does require medication and there are several different treatment options available. Many physicians prescribe oral antibiotics, however ineffective, and oral antibiotics are currently the most common treatment that are prescribed for a sinusitis infection. Oral antibiotics unfortunately rely on the blood stream and blood vessels exclusively to carry medication to the infected sinus cavity. Relying on the sinus cavities to provide the medication through the limited supply of blood vessels is problematic as the blood vessels cannot deliver an effective dose of medication to the actual site of infection. Recurrent sinusitis infections are common with the use of oral antibiotics due to the blood vessels inability to provide an effective dose to the site of infection. For a serious sinus infection use a serious sinus treatment: Sinus Dynamics Sinus Dynamics offers the most effective treatment for all types of sinusitis infections. Sinus Dynamics custom compounded antibiotics, anti-fungals, and anti-inflammatories are delivered with a pressurized aerosolized mist through a state of the art nebulizer. Sinus Dynamics nebulizer emits a 3.2-micron particle size which is a fine medicated mist that can rapidly enter the inflamed sinus cavities and fight through the bacteria, reaching the inflammation at the opening of the sinus cavities. The aerosolized medicated mist is sent up into the actual site of the sinusitis infection, fighting the infection on contact. Sinus Dynamics’ topical approach to treating sinusitis is highly effective as medications that are topically applied result in little to no side effects and ensure a low systemic absorption rate. Sinus Dynamics sinus therapy is highly effective, easy to use, and safe with a 98% success rate in the treatment of patients who are suffering with a sinusitis infections. Contact Sinus Dynamics representative to discuss which treatment options and medications would be appropriate for a sinusitis tachycardia infection (877) 447-4276.
