Can sinuses cause headaches and real bad dizinness. The cat scan showed no sinus infection but the front of my face hurts so bad and my vision gets blurry and I stay so dizzy. Does anyone know what this could be. Please help

sinus migraines, sinus headaches, inner ear infection, seizures just to name a few that come to mind. keep going to the doctor til you get answers.

Absolutely! The sinuses and ears are all connected and can effect your overall equilibrium. I agree with the previous poster about keep pushing until you get answers.

What did you ENT say about the CT Scan? If you only saw a GP, get an ENT appointment and have them read it. Could be a number of issues.

Good luck and please report back.

I have times of dizziness for over a year. Just went to some allergist who told me to go to some neuro. I also have low thyroid, which can cause it and so can vasomotor rhinitis.

I used to get really bad sinus type headaches -- had a whole summer of dizziness -- felt as if I had someone else's hangover. Mine went away when I had my tonsils removed. Was an unexpected perk. In my case, my tonsils were so chronically infected that they were making me sick.

Have they checked you for an inner ear problem, such as calcium deposits (rocks in your head) in the eustacian tubes?
