Hi all,

I've had sinus issues off and on for years. It seems that I deal with ear pain and dizziness a lot of the time. I've been to an ENT in the past who recommended a Tonsillectomy and Septoplasty to fix my deviated septum, but I was hesitant to move forward with surgery. Queue present day, my ears ache pretty much constantly as well as pop, pressure behind my eyes, dizziness, tinnitus. My nose isn't "stuffy" per se, I don't have any yucky discharge, but I have everything else to indicate what I assume is a sinus issue. I've been to my GP and she said that my sinuses look red and inflamed and has recommended that I start using a daily antihistamine as well as Nasacort. So far, no relief. I am waiting now on a referral to see a different ENT before I decide on surgery, but has anyone else experienced these symptoms? For me, it's the constant dizziness that makes it all worse. I feel like I'm half in the bag most of the time and it's starting to make me panic. Any ideas/suggestions?
