Has anyone with chronic sinusitis experienced this?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi all. I was diagnosed the chronic sinusitis April of last year. Apparently my sinuses are so inflamed they're "surprised I can breathe" through my nose. I can but I feel the slightest bit stuffy. All they did for me was put me on Flonase and Azelastine (two nose sprays) but a lot of times the azelastine makes me feel worse. Anyways, does anyone else with chronic sinusitis get a weird feeling in their scalp? It's like when I raise my eyebrows there's a jumpy feeling in my scalp. Sometimes it's worse than others, when it gets bad it lasts about a week or two. Has anyone else had it affect their inner ear? My doctor thinks it is affecting my inner ear now but I've been having balance issues, not vertigo but as if the floor is moving up and down. And having sensitivity to light and trouble walking in the dark. And I have balance problems going into open spaces like malls and other stores, and watching motion such as cars moving or crowds moving cause the balance problems as well. The nurse tried cleaning my ears, and when she was cleaning my left one I got SO dizzy and off balance. But a few minutes after it passed, and I hadn't felt that good in a LONG time (as far as my balance problems and the feeling in my scalp goes). It felt nice to feel good again for a day, but the symptoms came back a little the next day. I'm seeing an ENT in a couple weeks, I'm just curious if anyone else with chronic sinusitis has experienced this. Thanks all.
