HELLO,

I have suffered with feeling ill, dizzy, brain fog and pressure in face and head since January. i feel increasingly stressed out about being ill for so long and its starting to make me feel like i am going mad. I'm not the kind of person that gets ill, always had colds and they shift quickly. fit and well up until now.

The DR diagnosed sinusitis and gave me a week course of Amoxycillin. symptoms eased towards tje end of the course but a week later theyre as bad as they were. I have pressure in my head when i breathe in, pressure on top of my head when I swallow and also pain all over my head (round the back of head particularly) when i lay down or lean my head on anything. THESE symptoms are so worrying - Ive never suffered headaches before so ive been feeling so anxious about the constant pressure. PLEASE can anybody tell me that this is 'normal' for SINUSITIS?

I have general malaise, on and off dizziness and forgetfulness, ringing in my ears, crackly ears and craxkly sensation round bridge of nose.

IVE had dull blood count, thyroid check, kidney funtion blood tests done but wont get follow up appointment til Monday.

I feel like I am going CrAzY
