White debris accumulation on my tongue, Inflamed throat and sinuses. Please help!

My throat and sinuses are inflamed, at night I can only sleep on my back if o try laying on the side my nose completely closes and I can’t breathe. In the morning my tongue is cover with white (or grey) debris, it also accumulated through out the day but not as much as at night. This makes my breath horrible. I went to the doctor but he didn’t listen and didn’t pay any attention and gave me allergy pills which didn’t solve anything. I’ve tried to do as much research as I can to solve the problem, I’ve considered that it could be a sinus infection, virus or fungal infection. This has been going on for a long time and I can’t fond the solution! recently I came across a post and a picture on this website that looked very similar if not the same as what I have. It was posted in 2013. He was talking about the bumps and tiny white spots he has in the back of his throat, which I also have but in the picture I’ve noticed his tongue looks exactly like mine. Here is the picture to it. http://i.imgur.com/lSJfvKV.jpg     I really hope that someone knows what this is because I need help and don’t know what else to do!  My other symptoms are; fatigue, oily face (started at the same time as white tongue. Oily skin led to a couple of cysts on my forehead), numbness in fingers, tachycardia. When I eat sugar white debris on my tongue gets worse and thicker also I sometimes have unpleasant sour or metallic taste.

The tongue issue sounds like oral thrush.  I would see your doctor to follow up on this as it is treatable. good luck
