Can sinusitis be linked with asthma?

So I have had a sinus infection ever since summer 2017 and in school a few weeks ago I felt like I almost couldn't breathe. I felt like I was breathing too much like my heart felt like it had too much oxygen and when I held my breath in I still needed air I heard that sinus infection can lead to asthma is that true? and if so any remedies or treatment that can help?
