Question 1

became very dizzy and off balance out of now where today during class lasting 5 mins. could this be due to a sinus surgery 1 month ago?

Accepted Answer

No: And very unlikely, please see your doctor asap, you may need some tests after physical exam, as EKG or blood tests, dizziness has several causes, but sinus surgery a month ago is unlikely to be a cause, good luck

Question 2

short dizzy spells (1sec), occuring very frequently with no diagnosis yet. ive had sinus surgery recently but those spells didnt go away.i need help.

Accepted Answer

Neurology consult: i suggest a consultation with a neurologist with appropriate vertigo testing and vestibular evaluation

Question 3

worried i have csf leak. clear water like fluid comes out of one side of my nose around one a day when i bend over: feeling dizzy all the time and off balance. had a sinus surgery a month ago and history of allergies and chronic sinus infections?

Accepted Answer

: What you have may not be CSF leak but could just be fluid draining from your sinuses. It is important to follow up with your doctor so you could be reevaluated.

Question 4

had sinus surgery took out a blockage and put stents in 2 months ago. been on 12 antibiotics, not getting better, clots are coming out and she's dizzy?

Accepted Answer

Need special care: Your story sounds very unusual. Do you have cystic fibrosis? After surgery, it is more typical to use irritations than pills/shots since the topical meds get to the area better. If you are unsure or losing confidence with your physician after talking to him/her once more about the overall goals of and plan for your treatment, please seek the care of a trained rhinologist (kind of ent).

Question 5

just had sinus ballonplasty surgery. i feel very lightheaded dizzy and nauseous. i also feel very cold. is this all related to my sinus?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: The balloon sinoplasty should not give you those symptoms.  Sounds like you developed a viral infection.
Check with your surgeon.

Question 6

headache, jaw pain, rt ear pops occasionally, dr. said my rt ear sucked in, dizziness in the am, small cough. sphenoid surgery 1 yrago..sinus again?

Accepted Answer

TMD?A possible cause: TMD is an scronym for Temporomandibular Dysfuntion.

its more a syndrome than a single condition as there are several overlapping symtoms.

Generally speaking they include jaw pain clicking locking, history of facial muscle ache, neck pain, headaches, migraines and tinnitus.
Causes can range from surgery to nearby structures like with yourself....stress induced clenching or grinding of teeth

Question 7

hi docs, would sinus surgery make my voice less nasal-y?

Accepted Answer

Doubt: Possiable, but unlikely. Discuss with ent.

Question 8

is it bad to have smoked after having sinus surgery?

Accepted Answer

Smoking and surgery: Smoking is not bad;  addiction is not a moral issue.  Smoking will impair your body's ability to heal.

Question 9

what is the definition or description of: sinus surgery?

Accepted Answer

Define Sinus Surgery: In simplest terms, sinus surgery is defined as making openings through the nasal passages and the four, paired sinuses on each side of the nose, bigger. This may include straightening a crooked (deviated) septum, reducing the size of the nasal turbinates, and making the openings (ostia) larger, using by means of a drill with a very small bit that removes bone around the sinus openings.

Question 10

i was wondering what are common complications for sinus surgery?

Accepted Answer

Uncommon: If they were common, that surgery would not be performed. That said, the risks really depend on which sinuses are treated surgically and with which surgical technique. Overall, it has become a low risk surgery. Talk to a surgeon.
