Can pain near my sternum/below chest cause sinus issues?
Over a week ago I felt like I was having a pain in the center of me, somewhere between/around my sternum or below my chest. The pain didn’t last long, but for hours afterwards I didn’t feel right and was worried about what I felt earlier. The next day I felt uneasy and scared about what I felt the day before, but once I started moving outside and doing something I felt better, like maybe thinking and worrying about it made me feel worse.
A few days after that, I started having cold like symptoms like a runny nose and pressure near my eyes. I was having cold like symptoms, but it didn’t completely feel like colds I’ve had in the past.
Could the feeling/pain near my sternum/ below my chest have somehow caused the cold like symptoms? I don’t know if that’s possible.
Today, I was thinking about how I felt that pain last week, and I started feeling maybe like a needle like pain maybe above my sternum. It didn’t last long and lasted maybe seconds, but at that same time my sinuses felt irritated and like there was pressure near my eye. Could there have been a correlation between those two? Part of me thinks that thinking about the pain from last week caused me to feel something again, and like I was anxious and that caused physically symptoms.
I have a doctors appointment this month.
