Eyes not focusing and light sensitive?
Brief Answer:
can cause increased temp
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The sinuses are spaces found in different areas of the face.
Any infection or inflammatory process can result in increased warmth. Heat is produced as part of inflammation.
Infection of these spaces can therefore cause facial warmth especially in the sinuses that are affected.
A feeling of fullness or increased pressure can also occur.
Difficulty with focusing or sensitivity to light are not common with sinus pressure/infection but may occur if there is associated sinus headache.
Light sensitivity and headaches can also occur with migraine headaches.
The use of a decongestant, antihistamine, topical nasal steroid spray may help.
Warm compress to the side of the face affected would also help with sinus drainage.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

Brief Answer:
no definite link
Detailed Answer:

There is no particular correlation between sinusitis and blood pressure.
It is possible that discomfort would cause the opposite- increase in blood pressure but there is no definite link between sinusitis and any changes in blood pressure
If anything else unclear, feel free to ask
