Can sinus problems cause eye problems?
Hi i have been up ALL night because my sinuses are insane! I live in ohio, and it was 55 degrees yesterday and today it's in late 30s and im going insane! Anyway, my eye feels like there is a stye (spell check??) in the corners of my eye. I can barely close it and it hurts like hel! Could I be getting a sinus infection? Or am I just "lucky" enough to have bad sinuses a stye/ possible pink eye?

could be either, but either way with both those infections you should see a DR. people have been sick all month here, FL, alot with sinus problems. If it is your actual eye that is hurting, probably not a sinus infection. Above, or below , or even behind the eyes, that's a sinus infection. try pressing around between your eyes by your eyebrows and below your eyes close to your nose. if that's tender it's sinuses. your sinuses are directly connected to your eyes just FYI.
good luck
BTW i know a couple people that have had the sinus surgery and it has made both of them worse, so be aware of that.
you might be feeling pyschological effect but no only ear, nose, and throat are related
