Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

Carpal tunnel release surgery is a minor surgery, and is often done under local anaesthesia. So, I feel you can still proceed for the surgery despite these symptoms of dizziness and nasal congestion, which are likely to be due to minor upper respiratory tract infections.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
