Can Sinusitis Cause Seizure ? What Is The Solution ?

hello, this is gautam from bangalore. Im 24 now. Ive been sufferin from Severe headache (pain in forehead, cheeks and eyebrow region) since one week. when i was 18 i had seizure and i consulted a neuroligist. He had prescribed me phenotion and i was continuing the medication for about 4-5 years. later the Doctor himself prescibed me lower doses in the following months.then suddenly i had another attack and consulted the same doctor. Now, he has prescribed me Zeptol CR400 and levipil 250.. Im continuing the medicines since one year, i ve never had any attacks or any other prob after that. meanwhile our family doctor eventually read my medical history and said, seizure could because of Sinusitis also ( i have sinusitis prob also since a long time, but never had any medicines for that) and asked me to take care of that too. Now two days ago, i experienced a severe giddiness and had all the sympotoms of having a seizure(that i usually experience before getting a seizure), but nothin happened. What would be the reasons. Do I have to under go medication for Sinus problem also.. if so do i ve to continue the medication that im undergoin now..? pls advice..

SEE SEIZURES ARE NOT RELATED TO YOUR SINUSITIS PROBLEM .........THEY SHOULD NOT BE CORRELATED WITH EACH OTHER ..... IF U R HAVING PREMONITORY SYMPTOMS THEN CERTAINLY U MAY BE IN NEED OF GETTING YOUR DOSES OF ZEPTOL ADJUSTED BY YOUR PREVIOUS DR ....VISIT HIM ...ITS NECESSARY..... U CAN SIMULTANEOUSLY CONSULT A ENT SPECIALIST TO CONFIRM SINUSITIS & GET IT TREATED ..... DONT MIX UP THE TWO
