Hi, my girlfriend has had a sinus infection for about 3 or 4 weeks now. About a week ago she started throwing up, a few days later she was having dizzy spells. Thinking it was from the antibiotics, she had the doctor change the prescription to something else. When she started taking this antibiotic she began to have slurred speech and seemed almost incoherent at times while still vomiting and being extremely dizzy. In the past month she has been to 3 doctors, has been put on three different antibiotics and a z pack, and has had her blood tested and had a CT scan of her sinuses. Finally yesterday we went to the ears, nose, and throat doctor and he sent her to the ER where they ran an MRI, everything came back fine. The doctor said she still had the sinus infection, and she was more than likely suffering from vertigo. She is still dizzy and slurring her speech though. My question is can the severity of the sinus infection be the reason she slurring her speech and having dizzy spells? I would appreciate any help, we don't know what else to do. p.s. she is a diabetic and wears an insulin pump on her leg.
