I am on round 5 of meds for a sinus infection last 2 days i have been really dizzy, so dizzy the room spins. is this normal? having sinuplasty feb 25.

Vertigo is: What you are describing, i think. It comes from inflammation or infection in the semi-circular canal, which maintains your balance. It is not normal. Notify your ENT so he can prescribe medication for you.
