A member asked:

This last wk, i have had ear pressure, post nasal drip & feel a constant head rush feeling, but do not have a stuffy nose. is this a sinus issue?

Sinus infection: Sinus infections can be tricky to diagnose. Ear pressure and post nasal drip could possibly be a symptom. Check it out with your doctor if it continues.

Head rush: It could be a sinus issue. Have your doctor refer you to an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist.
