Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / October 2005I Just Found Out I Have Thyriod Issues
I was wondering if being hyperthyriod could be causing my Sinusitis/Rhinitis? I've had sinus problems moslty rhinitis for over 5 years now. 3 sinus infections as well. I was wondering if anyone knows of some sort of corilation between the two diseases? I've ony noticed the thyriod symptoms for about 3 months now.

Now *hypothyroidism* might possibly lower your resistance to infections. But not hyperthyroidism.  SignatureSteven D.

I've ony noticed >the thyriod symptoms for about 3 months now. I have suggested many times to people here that they have their thyroid checked because it can be a casue of sinusitis. As Steven says, sinusitis is more likely to develop in people who are hypothryoid than hyperthryoid. However, hyperthyroidism might exacerbate allergies and hence sinusitis also indirectly..... I've had allergies all my life and my MD has checked my thyroid many times but it is not low. He does a TSH blood test and checks my glands in my neck manually. He is an Endocine Md that specializes in the thyroid gland. I've had a biopsy and a scan too. shirley
