Feeling Dizzy? Your Sinuses Might Be to Blame—Here’s Why
Ever found yourself feeling lightheaded, off-balance, or just a little woozy during a bad cold or allergy attack? You're not imagining things. Sinus infections can do more than just clog your nose—they can actually throw off your balance and mess with your head (literally).
Let’s break down the real connection between your sinuses and those sudden waves of dizziness, and when it might be time to bring in an ENT specialist.
So... Can Sinus Issues Really Make You Dizzy?
Yep, they can. Most people associate sinus infections (aka sinusitis) with the usual suspects: congestion, facial pressure, headaches. But it’s also pretty common to feel disoriented, foggy, or even experience vertigo during a sinus flare-up.
Why? Because your sinuses and ears are way more connected than you might think. Specifically, the Eustachian tube—your body’s natural pressure regulator for your middle ear—can get blocked when your sinuses are inflamed. That blockage messes with your ear pressure and balance, leading to—you guessed it—dizziness.
