I have a frontal sinus infection and i lay on my bed with my head hanging off bed to use my phone. could this make sinus pressure worse when i stand?

Acute sinus: More likely you would have increased pressure while having your head hang off the bed though you might feel a little lightheaded getting up as the pressure drops while getting up.
