Mid December had cough and heavy cold. Then got non bacterial tonsilitis. All seemed to clear, but Xmas eve I started getting facial pressure, a light headache and dizziness.
I saw a pharmacist who advised salt water spray for my nose and it sounded like sinusitis.
Anyway it didn’t help so after a few days I called the GP who gave me a steroid nasal spray. Symptoms continued, no better, no worse. But I was getting lots of nose bleeds from the steroid spray.
Fast forward to the start of this week- the dizziness is so bad I had to ring the GP again. They said it’s probably still sinuses inflamed somewhere and they’d give me stemetil for the dizziness.
The dizziness is odd though- it’s kind of like being in a dream/hazy/fuzzy kind of dizziness.
The facial/nose/cheek pressure is back along side a lovely ringing in my right ear 😫
Sudafed has helped and I am now able
to potter on around the house again- as I could barely stand up at the start of the week.
Should sinusitis last this long?
Ive started to religiously take the sudafed every 4 hours now which I think is helping.
is there anything else I can do?
is the dizziness and weird feeling, including ringing in the ear a usual part of sinusitis?
I only have a weeks worth of stemetil and scared when I stop taking it I will be in the same boat.
I just want to feel normal 😭
