Are you a Candidate?

Have you been misdiagnosed?

Many time sinusitis goes undianosed because its symptoms can be nonspecific or common to many other conditions.
Conditions that are often misdiagnosis for sinusitis include:

  • Migraines
  • Sleep Apnea
  • Gastric Reflux
  • Tooth Ache
  • Hay Fever
  • Influenza
  • Allergic Rhinitis
Many patients that we see at the South Texas Sinus Institute come to us after being misdiagnosed with one of the above described conditions, when they actually had sinusitis. If you have one of the above listed conditions and even after treatment, continue to suffer without relief; than it's important to contact the South Texas Sinus Institute to get a proper diagnosis.

Because of the similarity to symptoms of these and other conditions, it is important that people with symptoms of sinusitis seek prompt medical care. Early diagnosis and treatment is vital to effective treatment and prevention of serious complications.
