Yes, a sinus infection (sinusitis) can lead to a high sedimentation rate (sed rate), which is a marker of inflammation in the body. When the body is fighting an infection, such as sinusitis, inflammatory proteins are released into the bloodstream, causing the sed rate to increase. This elevated sed rate indicates an inflammatory response, although it is not specific to sinus infections and can be associated with various other conditions.

Does levaquin cause anemia?
Just got back from a visit to a hematologist, after being referred by my primary care physician. The concern was a persistent mild anemia, with a count of 10.8. I also have a chronic sinus infection for which I was prescribed 24 day course of Levaquin tabs. The hematologist said that she thinks that the sinus infection along with the Levaquin, or either alone is enough to cause the anemia. She had my blood drawn to check iron levels and sedimentation rate. Hope to hear in a few days. But the take away on Levaquin is that it can cause anemia.

What is the difference between sinus tachycardia and inappropriate sinus tachycardia?
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia is a rapid heart rate at rest. The heart rate is more than 100 BPM. If the heart rate is more than 100 BPM less blood fills the coronary arteries so the less energy the heart has. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia needs treatment if the heart rate does not slow down with rest. It is only really a problem at rest. Sinus tachycardia is similar to Inappropriate sinus tachycardia. Sinus tachycardia is where the heart rate goes more than 100 BPM. It is normal for it to occur during excerise. Its only at rest it is classed as Inappropriate sinus tachycardia. How it can happen: 1) ST = sinus tachycardia is caused by increased sympathetic imput to the hearts pacemakers. The rythme of the heart is even and regular. Physical activity, Electric shock ( Inappropriate sinus tachycardia or sometimes V-fibb) Drugs These are things that can increases heart rate
