Is dizziness or lightheadedness a symptom of sinusitis?

No: Those symptoms aren't related to sinusitis, it may be your inner ear, an ENT specialist would help sorting it out, good luck

Certainly could be: Since sinusitis can affect the eustachian tube which connects to ear, these symptoms are not unusual for a sinus infection.
