How Can Recurrent Sinusitis And Bronchitis Be Treated?

I have had a chronic sinus infection, pseudemonous aeruginosa and staphlococis aereus, since 1997, I cant seem to get rid of the infections, i get bronchitis/asthma from it also, so i have been on advair 500/50 since then as well. When I have been coughing lately to clear mucous from my lungs I have had episodes where i have almost blacked out while coughing, it almost feels like just for 10 seconds or so my brain stops getting oxygen and i am still conscious but borderline almost going unconscious. What is happening to make my brain deprived of oxygen for that 10 seconds or so? I usually just take some quick breaths to get some oxygen in my lungs and body and it subsides after 5 to 10 seconds normally, but for a instant i am fighting to stay conscious and even my vision is affected for those brief moments. What is going on with this?

Gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil 3 times a day. Deep breathing exercises , walking in fresh air , YOGA help to recover faster. Avoid exposure to dust , pollens ; if necessary use triple layer face mask. You can take Cefadroxyl twice a day for five days, you can take paracetamol twice a day for five day you can rantac D twice a day for five day, give Salbutamol twice a day for five days. Avoid smoking or any form of tobacco consumption. Avoid stress , anxiety. Tessalon pearls 3 times a day. Basil leaves, turmeric powder in boiled skimmed milk, pure honey, chamomile tea are herbal recovering agents.
