cannot say in your particular case, and, marijuana does have a small but significant stress hormone effect. Typically the heart rate, circulation, and blood pressure do rise with marijuana. Extremely rarely, strokes have been reported.

Other possibilities are effects on circulation and inflammation around the sinuses. This can occur with smoking pretty much any substance and is therefore far, far, more common. It too varies with individuals. Lots don't have any noticeable effect on the sinuses with smoking. Some have full-blown asthma attacks (up to 10% of marijuana users).
