Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and following details are furnished from my side and later on details needed from your side for better management and treatment of your pathology:

1. Since in your other questions,test conducted by Neurologist were said to be Normal thus it could be simply sinusitis with which we are dealing. (cause of dizziness)

2. Going through your medical history, you are on synthyroid (for hypothyroidism), and since low thyroid in blood is concerned with retention of salt & water in body (edema) which is also applicable to the sinuses thus could be an underlying cause of your sinusitis.

PS. consult an Endocrinologist for better understanding between the two.

3. In between do let me know whether there is/are any ill effects of chronic sinusitis felt/seen by you,like:

. reduced sense of taste & smell?
. pain in ear?
. difficulty in breathing?
. nocturnal cough?
. pain-swelling-tenderness around face?
. nausea?

4. Do revert back with your clarifications for further necessary assistance and management.
