00:00Sinus stuffiness can be a frustrating experience caused by various factors.
00:04Allergies to pollen, dust, mold, or pet dander trigger inflammation in the sinuses, leading to congestion.
00:11Additionally, respiratory infections like the common cold and flu are common culprits, causing the sinuses to swell.
00:18Sinusitis, an infection that follows a cold or allergy flare-up, further exacerbates the issue.
00:24Nasal polyps, which are non-cancerous growths in the nasal passages, can obstruct airflow and contribute to chronic congestion.
00:32Lastly, hormonal changes during pregnancy, menstruation, or thyroid disorders can also lead to nasal congestion, making sinus stuffiness a complex challenge to manage.
