i recently ( 2 days ago) received a steroid shot in order treat sever sinus congestion. The result was positive for the sinus issue, however i have had a great deal of trouble falling to sleep during the 2-nights since the injection. Is this a normal side effect?

Thanks for your question your question on Healthcare.
I can understand your concern.
No, insomnia is not a side effect of steroid shot.
So I don't think your insomnia is due to steroid shot you took.
You might be having stress and anxiety about your Sinus disease which is causing insomnia.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
If insomnia persist for more than a week then consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
