Can sinusitis cause asthma?

I have sinus problems and I'm wondering, can it cause asthma? I'm no smoker, and not asthmatic.

No. Both are respiratory ailments but separate and distinct from each other. Consult an ear and nose specialist if you have sinusitis, and a pulmonologist if you got asthma.

It can make it difficult to breathe at times, but asthma is when your airway literally closes. You may need to see an ear nose and throat Dr.
I think so. I have suffered from chronic sinusitis all my life and then at 57 I got seriously ill and had my first attack of asthma and now am asthmatic although only slightly
Good question! No, sinusitis does not cause asthma. However, both may co-exist or it may become a prelude to bronchial asthma. How? Most people who have sinus problems may also have allergies like allergic rhinitis ("hay fever"). And asthma is a kind of allergy affecting the respiratory tree. So, bronchial asthma may or may not be associated with sinusitis.

Finally, in order to prevent asthma, find out those things which precipitates your sinus problems and/or rhinitis (if you do also have hay fever) and just avoid them. You may also benefit from an allergy skin test to determine the substances you may be allergic to. Make sure your air environment is clean and well ventilated. Good luck!

Sinusitis is one of the complications of allergic rhinitis. Asthma is an allergic condition and it is not a complication of sinusitis.
no,there is tendency towards asthma ,something like hereditary tendencies in some families.
