A member asked:

Had fess & septoplasty on 19th.had bilateral sphenoid sinus which caused head heaviness. i still sometimes have similar head heaviness.i am scared.

See ENT: if your symptoms are worrisome, and have lasted more than a week or so, you need to have your sinuses, etc, re-evaluated by the MD that did the FESS procedure in the first place. Make the call...
