What Dr would you go see??
Not sure if this is where I should post this,,,but I need help...
about 2 weeks ago I had what I thought was a sinus infection - heavy head, suffy/runny nose, etc. I took advil cold and sinus and it was pretty much cleared up. at least the nose part
Now about 2 weeks later I have dizzy spouts when I am not even doing anything ,headaches that make me feel light headed, I feel like there is a helmet on my head (pain in a ring around my head) and it gets worse when I bed down/head below my heart level!
I think I want to see a dr but who do I go to, never had anything like this...
would you go to your General Practitioner or a specialist..and if u think a specialist, what kind and who would you sugg.???
I live in he westbury/carle place/garden city/mineola area!
Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Definitely an ENT. They help with sinuses and also with balance issues!

Before you start panicking, it could be an ear infection. I had that once and it was a nagging issue. I went to my Dr. in a panic and it turned out to be a double ear infection not fun!!

Definitely an ENT - it sounds like you have a sinus infection and maybe a middle ear or ear infection.
