What Causes Headaches And Sinusitis After A Dental Procedure?

I had extreme dental work in march. I've had headaches and sinus issues ever since. In may I began to have shortness of breathe , pain under right shoulder blade and burning down my chest. My doctor gave me a steroid shot last week but my symptoms are still there.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Well, sinus related issues can occur after dental procedure in case if there is perforation of the sinus floor during the dental procedure..
It can even happen in long standing cases of dental Infection..

Headache can be secondary to sinus Infection as there are large sinuses present behind eyes as well as forehead area..

But the symptoms of shortness of breath, pain under shoulder and burning in chest is not related to these problems, so it is better to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated as it can be related to Cardiac issues..

So it is better to get examined soon..

Hope this helps..

Regards
