Are the symptoms I have of sinusitis?

by Soledestiny, Jun 30, 2008 12:14AM
Sometimes there seems to be a little bit of mucus-type stuff in my throat. Occassionally there is a little bit of blood in it, or it's a gray color. Oddly, the only time it really happens is when I brush my teeth. Then again, that's about the only time I spit. But the few times I've randomly spit throughout the day, everything was clear.

I'd been trying to figure out what it was and came upon sinusitis (excuse me if I spell it wrong at some point). My nose seems to be constantly stuffy. Occassionally I'll have some very mild headaches. Things like that. I'd also heard that sometimes a sinus infection can end up leading to an ear infection, and one of my ears has had the symptoms of the starting of an infection.

I know blood in spit can be many things, but lately there's also occassionally been a small amount of blood (in mucus as well) coming my nose if I blow it.

So, yeah. I'm wondering if what I have sounds like sinusitis to you. I'll be going to the doctor soon anyway, guess I'd just like some idea of what it is before I go.
