One of the most common complaints this time of year is Sinusitis; a condition causing inflammation and swelling in the cavities surrounding your nose and eyes. This can lead to narrowing of the passageways, where mucus produced by your body can become blocked. This blockage allows infection to set in and can last for weeks on end.

I was aware of the boost I got from coffee but also how fatigued I was after coming down from the caffeine. Despite all these stimulants, my energy levels continued to decline! I really felt that someone in their’ twenties should not feel this exhausted all the time.
