Detailed Answer:
Hello,

It's possible to have some dizziness with sinus symptoms, but as it is new for you it might be due to something else.

There are 2 different things we call dizziness: light headedness is where you feel dizzy when you stand up quickly after having been lying down or sitting for awhile; the other kind of dizzy is feeling like the room is spinning when you move your head. Can you tell me which your type of dizzy is most like?

Also, what other symptoms are you having and what other meds, other than the Flonase, do you take?

Thanks
