Are Dizziness And Sinus Infection Symptoms Of Vertigo?

Had a little vertigo about a month ago. Nothing major but I still have some dizziness if I look up or down. Now I feel like I have either a cold, flu or sinus infection. Went to a dr right after the vertigo and he checked my ears and sinuses which showed nothing. Is it possible that I got an infection now.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concer. As per your query you have dizziness and sinus infection and vertigo. Well there can be many reasons for vertigo , but the most common is anxiety and the other Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) are ear infection , hypoglycemia , anemia , meniere's disease , migraine and alteration in he blood circulation . Ear infection sometimes occur when infection spread from post nasal drip , which further occur due to sinusitis . Infection spread to ear through eustachian tube . So it is possible that you get infection now . Dizziness is a symptom of vertigo . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan for sinusitis , MRI , blood test , audiometery test, and ECG to confirm the diagnosis.Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug alon with antibiotics ( gentamicin ) and anti allergic . i would like to suggest you some home remedies drink green tea with ginger thrice a day and drink lots of fluids like juices and water . Avoid caffeine product and bending froward .


Hope your concern has been resolved.
