Brief Answer:
Seems like Chronic sinusitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query.

The attached reports suggest mucus in the nasal cavity. It is coming from paranasal sinuses. She should get a CT scan paranasal sinuses done to see the extent of sinusitis and which sinuses are involved.
Sinusitis is a very common cause for hed heaviness.

The further management will depend upon the extent of disease and which sinuses are involved.

Please continue with the nasal spray as prescribed for symptomatic relief. Take steam inhalation also.

Any further questions are always welcome.

Take care
Thanks and regards
