CAN YOUR SINSES GIVE SO MANY PROBLEMS
by AOL, Mar 24, 2007 12:00AM
Hello everyone I am a little worried about a problem that I have been having for a while now. It all started about 6 months ago. It all began with facial pain around my eyes with the feeling of dizziness not to the point of falling around just a feeling like it in my head. I went to my doctor and he said that both my ears had infections he gave me about 2 rounds of meds amoxicilin. I have never had a problem with sinuses before but when i was a kid i had tubes put in my ears twice. The doctor also started me on zyrtec and a nose spray. I guess my question is this has lasted sooo long I will start feeling better for about 2 weeks or so and then it will come right back that is the dizzy feeling and just feeling bad. Could this be something serious or just something that I am going to have to get used to, can this be something big like a brian turmor or have I just worried so much about to the point its all that I thick about. At one point i went to the eye doctor cause I read that if someone had a brian turmor that they could tell due to swelling of the optic nerve,but she said that everything looked fine. Any instite that anyone could give would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

I have been having similar problems. Started with a sinus infection last june, then I started to have dizziness. It is constant, like everything is overmoving, sometimes it makes me get motion sickness. I also have had jaw pain and ear pain/itchiness/plugged. In the fall I got an ear infection, and my eardrum ruptured. Anyway, I went to the ENT, general practitioner, a neurologist, eye doctor, and even had an MRI. I too was worried about a brain tumor, but I am tumor free. I did find out I have hypothyroid. I've started medication for that, but my doctor said it's probably not related to the dizziness. I am going to get talk to my doctor about getting allergy testing. I have noticed that my allergies have been a lot worse since I have been having these problems and I've read that allergies can affect your ears and cause dizziness. I am also supposed to get balance testing to check my inner ear function. I have been putting it as they actually induce dizziness during this test. Just wanted to reassure that you are not alone and that you probably don't have a brain tumor. Read the thread about "Horrible sinus pressure, dizziness" on page four. It's full of stories from people who are suffering from similar problems.

Thanks for your info it does make me feel a little better when you feel dizzy does if make you feel a little sick on your stomach. My family says that I have worried about this so much that it is controling my life. I have ready alot of stuff about brain turmors and I really don't have the symptoms like bad headaches and stuff only the upset stomach problem. My doctor told me the same thing that I would have bad headaches, but I don't. Also my ears pop everytime that I swallow like I'm in the mountains, but the doctor syas that my tubes are messed up and that can cause my stomach to feel upset.
