Mayo Clinic says... This common condition keeps mucus from draining. It makes the nose stuffy. Breathing through the nose might be hard. The area around the eyes might feel swollen or tender.

Infection, growths in the sinuses, called nasal polyps, and swelling of the lining of the sinuses might all be part of chronic sinusitis. Chronic sinusitis is also called chronic rhinosinusitis. The condition affects adults and children.I have the opposite problem -- overactive chronic drainage

Maybe I scanned the article too fast, however untreated sleep apnea can also cause chronic sinusitis. (Guess how I know this.)

Sleep apnea produces local (and systemic) inflammation, tons of it. Treatment (e.g. apap) does much to resolve the issue (although it takes a while).
