Numb feeling in bridge of the nose

Posted , 6 users are following.

This may sound really odd but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced a weird numbness in the bridge of their nose? I don’t have sinus problems (I don’t think) no runny nose or anything like that but it’s also affecting my ears, I get a pressure feeling behind both of my ears all the time but the numbness in my nose comes and goes, it driving me up the wall as it makes me feel dizzy to when it happens

    Hi jaime,

    I had the pressure feeling in my head and had a ct scan done and it showed a complete blockage of my sinus. I did have surgery to open up all my sinuses. I never had a runny nose really either. I did start taking an allergy medication which seemed to take away the pressure in my ears. So it might be worth a visit to an ear nose and throat dr. Hope this helps

      Thanks for your reply, I’m actually under the ear nose and nose specialist, I’ve got to have a balance test next Tuesday (which I’m dreading)..I’m sure it’s my sinusis to but they haven’t mentioned anything yet, I don’t get a running nose either but I can’t pop my ears which is odd, constantly feel like my ears are full

      It is such a pain with sinuses. I had an allergy test done years ago that said I was allergic to almost every grass and tree that grows around my area. I didn't think I was that bad lol. My head felt full all the time but also being anxious about those symptoms probably made it worse for me. I had the surgery and I don't feel all that different. But when I decided to try an allergy medicine (I say decide because allergy meds make me jittery) it really helped dry all the fluid in my ears. I couldn't even change elevation because my ears would be plugged the whole time. I felt like I couldn't hear as good either which has finally after a year seem to have gone away. But I only started taking claritin three weeks ago and just toughed through the jittery feeling but it has helped alot.

    I have the same thing going on now... that's why I am here, I was searching and this forum popped up. I don't want to go to the doctor if it is nothing of concern. Weird feeling for sure! Did you ever find out what what causing the pressure and numbness?
