Just wondering if anyone experiences anything like this. My sinusitis began in Feb 2015 when I went on a plane while I had a flu and my ears got all blocked. I had a few months of actual nasal and sinus problems along with postnasal drip and sore throat. While those cleared up, I've been left with weird feelings in my head like dizziness but not vertigo, occasional headaches/face pain and a "full" type feeling in the centre or top of my head. Sometimes I can feel where the back of my nasal passages are due to some weird pressure. No sore throats, rarely any nasal issues. While my face only hurts sometimes, if I press on certain points, it always hurts a lot.
The thing that's weird about it all is that it is markedly worse the more fatigued I am. It doesn't preempt the fatigue - I start feeling tired and then these symptoms get worse. Is that normal with these types of symptoms? Nurofen plus sometimes helps but not always. Is there anything else I can do to ease it? I've tried nasal sprays, nasal washes, massage. All of my allergy tests were negative (except nickel).
It's so frustrating, I could manage with the heavy full head feeling as I'm so used to it with CFS but this damn dizziness type feeling is horrid. CFS is already so bad - why do our bodies enjoy lumping us with so many other problems too lol
