Brief Answer:
no it does not!

Detailed Answer:
hello

No dryness , headache can be due to your sinus infection and not likely to be due to gerd.

I would like you to meet your ent doctor , who will examine you and give you medications for the sinus infection and gerd.

The dizziness can be due to low blood pressure or low sugars or due to an inner ear problem , these can also be evaluated by your ent doctor , so please try to meet him.

Meanwhile i would like you to avoid tea , spicy food , alcohol and smoking. I would also like you to take steam inhalation 2-3 times a day.

Thanks
