does ethmoid sinus cause voice disorders?
476094
Ethmoid sinuses just behind the bridge of the nose and between the eyes \n\nThe ethmoid sinuses are near the tear ducts in the corner of your eyes. Therefore, inflammation of these cavities often causes swelling of the eyelids and tissues around your eyes, and pain between your eyes. Ethmoid inflammation also can cause tenderness when you touch the sides of your nose, a loss of smell, and a stuffy nose.

More than one medical condition (psychological-schizophrenia, bipolar mania, acute manic episodes, and a variety of drugs) can cause this. If you know someone with these symptoms they should see a professional to determine the cause. Many times the "voices" are harmless, but there have been many cases of personal injury or injury to others due to this phenomena.

Although it is possible this is related to a sinus infection, it is unlikely.  There are many reasons that people can have draining ears, from allergy flare ups to cholesteatoma to a hole in your eardrum to a chronic otitis externa(outer ear infection).  You should see your primary care doctor to let them examine you.  If they treat you with either oral antibiotics or ear drops, and that doesn't work, you should visit with an ear, nose and throat doc.

Good luck. Antibiotics have always helped. Don't ever wait to long to see a doctor though, the sinus infection could get worse and cause more severe symptoms.

You may have chronic sinusitis with a bacterial infection deep in your sinus. You should probably go to an ear, nose, & throat docter and have it looked at. He will try a cycle of antibiotics and if that doesn't work you may need sinus surgery

If you have tried all of the usual swallowing, holding nose and forcing breath etc then go see the doctor ... you may have another problem.\n\nI can't remember ever having a problem with my ears but if you jumped with a cold or blocked sinuses then maybe that is the issue.\n\nBest get it checked out

Yes. Any strain on the larynx could be damaging.

according to ayurveda, sinus and cold are kapha qualities, so you need to eat more spicy, hot pitta foods and less cold and sweet kapha foods, which will only aggravate it.  You also need to drink warm drinks, including water which should be heated.  Pranayama breathing excercises need to be practised. A hot steam  with some eucalyptus capsule dissolved in it will be helpful.  Massages using hot  mustard oil should help. There's something called oil cleansing, whereby you have sesame or sunflower oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes everyday, early morning, empty stomach. When oil becomes watery and foamy in the mouth, spit out and gargle well. You will notice water coming to your eyes and nose, this means kapha which causes sinus problems in the head is melting . This process also brings out all the toxins in the body and if practised regularly will prevent the sinus problem and has numerous other health benefits. I hope this helps.

Sinusitis can be more likely if you have a deviated septum.

I had the same problem, I couldn't breathe through my nose because, my nose and mouth were constantly full of mucus and I was constantly spitting out this gunk. Sometimes, I would be choking and gagging in my sleep. A relative sent me a print-out of the side effects of the medication I was taking. It included breathing problems, mucus buildup, nodules (which I now have exactly where my sinuses are) and a lot of other dangerous side effects. I went off the med. and while I still have some mucus production it is no where near what it used to be. My doctor tried to get me to go back on the same med. even after I told him about the mucus problems it caused. He said it didn't do that. When I insisted that it did, he looked it up on his computer and then said "if that happens again, you can always go off it". Needless to say, I refused to take it. Also, on one exam, the nurse told me I had polyps in my nose. She told me to see an ENT and have them removed (surgically). I am glad I didn't. I just saw an M.D. on tv who said that when polyps in your nose are removed , they usually will come back. He said a safe non-surgical way to get rid of them is to use Nasonex twice a day and it is safe to do that. I think I'll take his advice and try it. I don't know why some doctors first advice is surgery especially if there is a non-surgical way to remedy a problem. I hope you find a solution to your problems.

I've been singing rock and metal for years. I think most of the "growl" singers are hurting their throats to get that sound. Others have that sound naturally and can use it as needed. I can't say how long you can get away with over pushing your voice. For some, it's a couple of years and others may go for 10 years or more. I don't anymore, but I used to over push allot and my voice is fine. Incorrect singing can also give you nodes on your vocal chords that can lead to cancer, so I suggest seeing a good vocal coach who is familiar with heavy metal singing.

Always best advice is to see your physician. Sounds as though it could be post nasal drip....your sinuses draining into your oro-pharynx.

Not always!! In a few cases, hormonal imbalances can lead to sinusitis.\nDisease, unmanaged mental or physical stress, and hypothyroidism can cause hormone fluctuations in estrogen or low thyroid levels, occasionally leading to nasal membrane swelling and sinusitis.
