Horrible Sinus Pressure, Pain, Dizziness, Vision Problems

[Spoonybard]

Hi Everyone. This is my first post. I started having problems about 5 years ago. It was occasional problems such as mild sinus pain/pressure and headache with mild eye strain. Each year it has gotten worse. Over the course of the past 5 years I have seen multiple doctors across different specialites: Ears, Nose & Throat, Neurologist, Allergist, and my Intern. I have had MRI's and CT scans. This year has been the worst so far. I have already gotten 2 sinus infections. In February of this year I got a CT scan and the ENT doctor said I have a severe deviated septum with chronic sinusitis. I was treated for a sinus infection and that was it. I still felt bad so I went to a neurologist. He wrote it off as a vestibular problem. I did vestibular therapy for 2 months with almost no relief. In May when allergy season started, everything got worse. I have had nonstop sinus pressure/pain, headache, dizziness, major eye strain, my face is sore, my teeth are sore. At the beginning of July I went to an allergist. He said I was allergic to 3 types of trees, 4 grasses, dust, molds and very mild allergy to cats. He put me on Rhinocort. NO results. Then I went back to him after already dumping over $200 in co-pays and medication and he said I have a sinus infection. I just finished the antibiotics and I still feel the same as I did when I first went to him in July. He had me on amoxicillin plus Astelin. I have tried Nasacort, Zyrtec, Claritin, Alavert, etc.... no relief. I am a computer programmer and I can't function like this anymore. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.

I had your same symptoms for 3 1/2 years. I've tried antibiotics many times with steroids which only gave me temporary relief until the meds wore off. I've even been on 21 day cycles as well. I've tried allergy shots to relieve the pressure but I have finally have come to the conclusion that drinking coffee has been the root of my problem the whole time . I still have not determined if its caffeine or coffee itself but I am pretty sure its one or the other.

Symptoms:
ear pressure - full ear
headaches 85% to 90% of the day especially at night when trying to sleep, feels like mucus is pooling up in the back of my head towards the base of my skull
achiness in the neck area
felt like something was in my nasal cavities

I know it sounds crazy but I am convinced coffee mimics a sinus infection or exaggerates any ongoing infection that may be living in my sinus area

I just want to let people know I was getting the same thing, it's been one year now and I might be close to finding out what the problem is and how to fix it...
so just the other night I was getting horrible sinus pressure, pain, dizziness, vision problems and very bad anxiety, I used some colloidal silver spray up my nose, 30min later I felt like I was reborn, I was so happy I could not sleep that night. Having said that this might not work for all but worked for me, I felt great for about 1 week but I stated getting crazy dizziness and crazy anxiety all day today again, so just had some colloidal silver in the nose and I'm feeling much better. I believe there might be a connection with a infected tooth and the sinus as the sinus does connect to teeth. But I would love to get a candida test but do not know where to get one in Australia.
Hope this helps other people.
thanks

I experienced upper teeth removal, since that I am going through pressure of my left side- ear, temple and feeling like a tooth ache.  I don't know if this is all the same, I get a brain fog, like i've been drinking.  I am going back to  the dentist for x-rays.  It just seem so strange, i also have green and yellow mucus having to blow my nose constantly now every day. Does or have anyone experienced this problem.

also i went into a pharmacy asking the pharmacist if if they have any sinus pressure allergy medicine he told me sinus pressure has nothing to do with allergies ?

that's exactly correct a chiropractic adjustment to the neck due to poor posture fixes sinus problems but to stop the sinus issues from continuing you need to fix and be aware of your posture.
