sinus congestion

Clogged nasal cavities

Sinus congestion is the stuffed-up feeling when the nasal passages and surrounding cavities become swollen and blocked, usually from a cold, allergies, or infection.

The sinuses fill with mucus that can't drain properly, causing pressure in the face and difficulty breathing through the nose: I couldn't sleep because of the sinus congestion.
