Why does my water pressure go down when I Turn on the faucet?

Why does my shower have low water pressure?

What to do if your faucet has low water pressure?

Except now the same bathroom with said shower has a sink that no longer has any water pressure. I.e, it just trickles water, both from the hot and cold valves (If I shut off the cold valve, it will trickle if I move it to hot, and it will turn off when I switch it to cold– and vice versa with hot)

Why do I have sediment in my faucet?

The sediment can form within a faucet or its parts depending upon the hardness of your water. Sediment also forms as a scale on the inside of municipal water supply pipes and the water lines inside your home. Pieces of this sediment can break off and be transported through the water lines as water moves towards a faucet.
