Is It Possible To Feel Dizziness With Enlarged Adenoids?

Hello. I just have a small question. I had enlarged adenoids since I was a young child. I am currently 11, turning 12 next month. My adenoids became even bigger; I had an x-ray about a month ago. I am still waiting for an appointment for an ears-nose-throat doctor, and my question is; is it possible to be dizzy when you have enlarged adenoids? Because I get light headed quite often lately.

hi
adenoids enlargement is quite a common condition which is seen in adolescent age.
adenoids enlargement mainly causes the patient to breath through mouth and they develop a typical adenoid face which is characterised by pinched nose,high arched palate,crowded teeth etc.
dizziness and light headedness is not associated with adenoids according to the literature.
