Sinus infection or inflammation can cause dizziness /light headed feeling.
There are also other causes as well such as: (1) anemia (low hemoglobin),

(3) low blood pressure,
(4) side effect of medication,
(5)chronic illness (heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease etc).

Antibiotics, if the sinuses are thought to have a bacterial infection.
