In general nasal congestion is associated with sinus infections. There can also be a lot of post nasal drip. These can make breathing through the nose difficult and can make you choke as well. Having said this, shortness of breath is more often associated with lower respiratory infections such as bronchitis or pneumonia.

∙ 10y agoThe main connection between sinus infection and bronchitis is that one can lead to another. To be more specific, a sinus infection has the potential to cause bronchitis. Another way that sinus infection and bronchitis can be connected is that they often occur simultaneously. This generally happens because sinus infections and bronchitis have some of the same potential causes, so when a person develops one, he has a greater chance of developing the other. Treatments for sinus infection and bronchitis are usually very similar as well.
Sinus infections are often developed because of different kinds of Allergies. This is also very often true with bronchitis. Many allergies can cause the body to produce an overabundance of mucus, and this mucus can potentially pool up in certain areas of the body. When this happens in the lungs or in the sinuses, bacterial infections can develop, and these can ultimately cause sinus infection and bronchitis to emerge at the same time.
The other connection between bronchitis and sinus infection comes from a sinus infection symptom called post-nasal drip. This causes mucus to run down the back of the throat constantly. A lot of this mucus can make its way into a person's lungs, and the mucus from a sinus infection is generally full of bacteria. When it reaches the lungs, it can often spread the infection into that area, leading to bronchitis.
