Does Sinusitis Inflate The Problem Of Vertigo?
I have vertigo and tinnitus. I just had a too the pulled on the upper back right side. I m experiencing feelings of vertigo and wondered if the extraction has caused it to interfere with my sinus pocket because I also have sinus and cold problems which were already a problem. I wonder if the sinus problems can also make the vertigo worse?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per you are wondering if sinusitis inflate the problem of vertigo , which can occur due to many reasons like middle ear infection , some kind of growth in middle ear or fluid in middle ear ( Meniere's disease ) . Sometimes infection through spread to ear through eustachian tube during post nasal drip . You should not ignore this , because sometimes the condition get complicated. i would suggest you to start with antibiotics, steroids and labrynthine sedatives for 5 to 7 weeks. you should go for vestibular rehabilitation exercises. You should consult with your ENT specialist and get evaluated. Doctor may order audiometry test and tuning fork test and treat it accordingly. Avoid touching and pricking it with any sharp object. Taking steam thrice a day will relieve your symptoms of sinusitis .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
