If you have had a sinus infection

I have a sinus headache and am congested, I feel dizzy when I walk around, I am super tired and I feel like I can't concentrate my eyes on things for too long.  I have never had a sinus infection before.  Does this sound like that?

    I used to get them 4 times a year like it was written on a schedule. Those symptoms sound like one.

    If you press on your cheekbones under your eyes, or your forehead over them, does it hurt? That was always the big clue for me.

    Yeah, it sounds like a sinus infection. Do you have greenish nasal discharge? Poor appetite? No sense of taste or smell? Those are other symptoms.

    Try using a neti pot 2-3 times a day.  Gross, but effective...  Hope you start feeling better soon....

    Sounds like it to me but I always check my snot (gross I know but with my mom being a nurse, it's something I've always had to do).  If the snot is green I march my butt to the Dr & get some amoxicillan.  Being pregnant I'm taking amoxicillan & regular sudafed, I felt so much better in 24 hours, it was unbelievable!

    yes, sounds like that to me. When I get them I usually can't lift my head off the pillow. Go to your dr, they'll give you an antibiotic. Mine also tells me to use mucinex when really helps.

    Most doctors will tell you a sinus infection needs to run its course as it has been medically proven that antibiotics are infective in treating them.

    I get them every 6-8 weeks thanks to a very deviated septum.

    Ugh. Sounds exactly like what I get. Had one for hours yesterday. It was horrible.

    Hope you feel better soon!
