Allergies? Depression? Anxiety? Dizziness? Related?

It started as sinus headaches 2 months ago, then it turned into pressure all over my face and an earache with jaw pain.  That was 3 weeks ago.  Now it is jaw pain, dizziness, and sinus pressure.  My ENT had a CT done and said my sinuses are basically clear but I have 2 small polyps in a cavity and teeth growing in y nasal cavity?...Apparently this is normal?  But now I am severely depressed and anxious too.  He seems to think all of this stemed from stress so he gave me valium.  I started feeling depressed and anxious after I started taking Nasonex.  Been off it for 2 days but still feel very shaky, depressed, anxious, I can't sleep and I am very dizzy.  I have suffered from depression in the past and was on meds but I am off of them.  I don't know.  I just need to hear other people's opinons of this.  Any input is greatly appreciated.

to be honest with you anxiety  and  depression  are not related , ask your doctor maybe you will take ,antidepressants again.

Anxiety and depression often go hand-in-hand. Polyps need to be evaluated to determine if they are benign or not and if they need to be watched or removed.  Nasal teeth are a result of supernumerary teeth (extra teeth) erupting into the nasal cavity.  They can cause many problems and some can be serious and....no...this isn't common.  This explains your jaw pain, dizziness and sinus pressure although you may also have an infection and I hope this has been ruled out.  Your depression and anxiety may be stemming from all of this or since you've suffered with depression before...this may have triggered it again.  I would address the sinus issue and see if you feel better and if not you may want to talk to someone about your anxiety and depression.  Get a second opinion of the nasal teeth and go from there.  I hope this helps and take care.
