infected sinusitis

Hello, does anyone have experience of sinusitis please. I had a head cold about 14 days ago. For the past week I have been feeling generally unwell. Getting dizzy spells where I feel like I am going to pass out, nausea, stomach upset, headches, feeling very tired, swollen glands and ear ache. The list is endless, I was starting to feel like a hypercondriac so went to see the doctor yesterday.

He has diagnosed infected sinus and I also have retracted eardrums. He thinks the retracted ears were caused from a flight I took 10 days ago.

Is it normal to feel so bad from sinusitis and if so, how ong can I expect to feel like this? The intermittent dizziness is horrible. I have been prescribed antibiotics and omeprozole to ease stomach symptoms. Thanks in advance
