Answer
HI Lori,
those symptoms could be a combination of the sinus infection and the pregnancy, how are your blood counts are you showing anemia? go tell your ob what you are feeling, if you can't get him to respond see another physican. It is always good to be sure nothing else is going on especially since you are pregnant.
