Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query sinus pressure along with vertigo upon lying down can occur due to many reasons like middle ear infection , some kind of growth in middle ear or fluid in middle ear ( Meniere's disease ) . You should not ignore this , because sometimes the condition get complicated. I would suggest you to start with antibiotics, steroids and labrynthine sedatives for 5 to 7 weeks. you should go for vestibular rehabilitation exercises. You should consult with your ENT specialist and get evaluated. Doctor may order audiometry test and tuning fork test and treat it accordingly. Avoid touching and pricking it with any sharp object. Drink green tea with ginger thrice a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
