Hello,

I would like to ask you some questions:

1. Since when this started?
2. Is there running nose, chest pain, cough?
3. What is your weight?
4. Do you feel heaviness in the face?
5. How is the headache, stabbing, throbbing, two-sided, one-sided, etc. I would like to suggest some tests:

1. CT sinuses
2. Complete Blood Tests
3. Head CT
4. ECG

With the tests results and answers, please post another question, so that, any doctor here can follow you up. Do not worry as you are under good treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
