Recurring sinus infection??

I went to my GP because I had a weird feeling/sensation/pressure feeling in my nose. The pressure sensation feeling felt like it was going from my nose through my forehead and all the way to the bottom of my head/top of neck. She diagnosed me with a sinus infection. Gave me flonase, antibiotics, and an allergy pill. A month later, felt the same way so I went back and she said I had another sinus infection. That was almost a month ago, and now its back AGAIN. It's so annoying. I raise my eyebrows and feel a pulling feeling in my head. I'm also having a little bit of vertigo. Could sinus infections really cause this?? I also suffer from anxiety, so could that be it instead? I just wanna feel normal again. 😦

    oh my god! finally somebody who has described exactly how i have been feeling for the past 8 weeks. i have been diagnosed with chronic sinusitis. ive had 3 courses of antibiotics, taking flonase and an antihistamine. i find it hard to believe its my sinus i dont have awful facial pain just a bit of pressure behind my nose and my ear was blocked for a bit. i thoughti was going crazy with this feeling in my head. like there is a vibration and my brajn almost jumps a bit? i havent had any spinning vertigo but ive felt light headed. ive been to ent and he has just told me he will see me again in 3 months. my doc did say that anxiety can make the feeling worse and i do think this whole thinghas got me feeling down and anxious.
