Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
Your symptoms do point towards chronic sinusitis, which can indeed cause all the issues you've been facing like the loss of smell, congestion, headaches, and even the anxiety and fast heartbeat episodes. It's good that you've been proactive in seeking help and trying medications, but it seems like we might need to explore other treatment options. I'd recommend seeing an ENT specialist again for a thorough evaluation to possibly consider different medications or even other interventions.
