HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Sinus infections can be associated with a disturbance in balance and would definitely contribute to the light headed sensation you are having.
Disturbance in metabolism and electrolytes can occur with infection and would contribute to the numbness that you are experiencing in the back of your head.If it is solely related to the infection, it should resolve with it.
I hope this helps
