We can make graphs of sinusitis symptoms including time series.

Sinus data can assist people in identifying causes, correlations, or patterns in their sinus symptoms. Some ideas of data to analyze include:

  • Sinus symptoms
  • Weather
  • Allergens
  • Diet
  • Exercise
  • Time of day/month/year
  • Add your ideas!

We can make graphs of sinusitis symptoms including time series.

Graphs show data in a format that people can easily see. There are numerous graph types, including these line graphs, as well as bar charts, pie graphs, and others. The goal is to make it easy to see associations. This can assist people in discerning what may cause symptoms.

You can document data using standard spreadsheet software, such as the freely available LibreOffice Calc. There are also specific tools for medical symptom data.
