Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / August 2004Is Anyone Experiencing Sinus Symptoms Like This?
My husband recently had a CT scan: results he has a cyst and dr. prescribed Augmentin until cyst is gone. My husband has had the sinus infection for over two years. Also for about six months he has experienced random episodes where he can feel light headed, his face looks blank, he smacks his lips like his mouth is dry, and his right hand tingles and he rubs his fingers in his hand like he is stopping the tingle. Dr. says this could be from the sinus infection. Has anyone experienced this? >My husband recently had a CT scan: results he has a cyst and dr. prescribed >Augmentin until cyst is gone.

That is a neurological symptom so he should see a neurologist to rule out more serious causes (for example, TIA - Transient ischaemic attack). > Dr. says this could >be from the sinus infection. Has anyone experienced this? Anything can be connected to anything but it is not necessarily prudent to grasp at straws when proper diagnosis is much more reliable. I agree. I have had sinus problems for 23 years with chronic mucoceles and have never experienced anything like what you are describing. I wouldn't even chance to say what it is but one of my children has epilepsy and when he first started having petit-mal seizures he would look blank, pick at his lip, and say his face felt funny. I would see a neurologist for correct diagnosis. Between the info given by the ENT and two years of ongoing infection...I would say your ENT is whacked. Trudy. |
