Symptoms: Heaviness at the back of the head. Lack in concentration, it feels like my head is moving while I am sitting or standing still.
Hope this will help you answering my query.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for writing back.
1. The images show mild mucosal thickening in the sinuses. This should respond to medical therapy and saline nasal washes.
2. There is a bony spur posteriorly in the septum which is mildly deviated, but
Radio-frequency turbinate reduction should work for you.
3. Endoscopic sinus surgery is not indicated. There seem to be some mild sinusitis in the frontal area, but the films should be seen on a viewer. At the most, Balloon Sinuplasty may be an option.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
