Back in march i had a bad cold my face was swollen from sinus`s and took 2 weeks to go down i didnt go to the dr. ever since then my nose has been kinda clogged. for the past 4 days ive been slightly dizzy not really DIZZY just light headed seems to come and go. i can still walk and do stuff its just an uneasy feeling. After the bad cold i had post nasal drip (i think) and even now it feel like theres still stuff in there. This morning i blew my nose and there was a bit of blood not much at all. Im wondering if all this could be from a infection even after a bad cold 2 months ago? And also some mornings i wake up and my throat just feels sore but quickly goes away in a couple of hours. is this in relation to lightheaded ness? i had an EKG and chest xray 2 weeks ago all was normal. lightheadedness started 4 days ago
Thanks

It sounds like you didn't really get your sinuses cleaned out, which isn't good.
You could get Sinusitis or an infection up there if stuff got blocked up.
Did you use a decongestant while you were not feeling well?
I'm with you on the Dizzyness....I'm sure my dizzyness/vertigo/lightheadness whatever it is, is related to my nasal congestion and very annoying post nasal drip. I felt like i was going to pass out at work today or rather that my whole balance was thrown off, vertigo or something. And then going home was a real treat too....i was able to drive ...just barely.
I took a Claritin D tonight and i'm hoping that will help clear out the congestion...my ears feel a little clearer and i'm not coughing so much because of the nasal drip..but now i remember why i don't like Claritin D, it wipes me right out and i hate that tingly feel of the extended release tablets. Not that i don't appreciate anything that will work at this point. I had a feeling of pressure in my head which it seems to have relieved. I also feel very lethargic...i can't wait to get my full energy back.
