I might have some possible chronic sinusitis and trying to understand if it can be a deal breaker for a 3rd class medical certificate.
I'm generally healthy, I don't take prescriptions, and I have no symptoms on my day to day life. At 4 years old I had a surgery for nasal polyp removal. I'm close to 40 years old now. I have experienced sinus discomfort and pain in the eyebrow area in the following cases:
I know that chronic sinusitis is a deal breaker, even for a 3rd class medical certificate, but is my situation falling in this category? What are my options? Thanks!

- SCUBA diving - I could not equalize and go down more than a few meters
- During descent on an airliner - it happened only a few times on short hops
- During rapid descent on a flight lesson - it happened once but it was only discomfort, not pain
