Hi Brita,

Thanks for your query,

The symptoms you have do give me a strong suspection into sinusitis and concomitant otitis( infection in the ear).I would not think there is any serious issue involved here with heart except some mild variation in the BP that can cause such symptoms.

Hence i would ask you to consult a ENT specialist to get your sinuses checked, confirm the fact and get you on appropriate treatment and also get your BP checked.

Meanwhile apply NASIVION nasal decongestant drops which if give relief the diagnosis i provided could be the right one.

Do go for aerobic exercises it will help in such health problems.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries I will be available to answer them.
