I'm starting to be able to breath out of my nose some but I'm still getting the dizzy like feelings every now an then.  I felt really weird at work today then when I pulled up at my house I had one of the dizzish feelings happen!  It scared me bad!!  I'm just afraid their is something really bad wrong.  How do I know the dizziness is from my nasal congestion???

It could possibly be a sinus infection, but only a doctor can diagnose that.  A sinus infection is next to your brain, so yes, it can make you feel anxious, and dizzy.

Sinus infections normally take a few weeks to clear up on their own.  Antibiotics have recently been proven ineffective by medical research, but we've known that here for years.

If it's diagnosed as sinus infection, a Neilmed Sinus Rinse can be helpful.
