What Causes Excess Heat In Head And Face And Lightheadedness?

Hi, my names Ashalee and I find my head and face over heating a lot. It gets to the point where I have to put something cold on my forehead and lay down. I get lightheaded and fuzzy when it happens. Do you have any answers for why this might be happening?

Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have excess heat in head and face and lightheadedness . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are probably due to condition like sinusitis . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper evaluation of the condition . Doctor may order CT scan , blood test , nasal culture , allergy test and nasal endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis and ruel out condition like inner ear infection . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( amoxicillin or penicillin ) at least for 10 days along with decongestant , expectorant and antiemetic drug . For now take steam thrice a day and avoid bending forward .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
