Small Sinus Mucocele right ethmoid dizziness

Well iv had really bad dizziness for over 2 years now,iv had every test you can think of,i had a vestibular assessment yesterday and he said my hearing is great and my ears are perfect.iv had blood tests,urine tests,adrenal test,eyes/ears tested,24 hr ecg,blood pressure,blood sugar all checked,the only thing i had to go on is on my MRI scan i had a few months ago they said it was fine but i had a blocked sinuses.i Saw a ENT Specialist that requested a CT scan on my sinuses and a vestibular assessment.I got a letter today saying on my results of my ct scan there is a small mucocele in the right ethmoid sinus but no other abnormality detected.Could this be the cause of my dizziness everyday,vertigo and vision problems? yet my vision is "20 20" as the eye test guy said and my balance in my ears are fine.I all so had bad fatigue,weakness,generally feeling unwell,pain in ears,bad nausea.Could this be the cause? please say yes! haha :P thanks in advance

Hello and hope you are doing well.

It’s unlikely that an ethmoid sinus polyp can cause symptoms of dizziness. Your symptoms of dizziness, if relieved by eating something, could indicate that you might be having episodes of hypoglycemia. Inadequate sleep can also cause tiredness, fatigue and dizziness. Other causes for these symptoms are inner ear infections; brain disorders heart problems, fever, stress, low blood pressure and anxiety. Sometimes postural hypotension can cause symptoms of dizziness too. A condition in which the peripheral arteries dilate, leading to pooling of blood in the peripheries. This in effect causes decreased circulation of blood resulting in dizziness/lightheadedness. This is more pronounced if the person stands up from a lying down position. This is detected by recording the blood pressure recordings in the sitting, standing and lying down positions. Discuss these options with your consulting doctor.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
