Does Sinus Cause Balance Problems?

been having a little balance issue for the last 3 weeks or so. I suffer from year round allergies/sinuses and I also suffer from General Anxiety disorder. Can allergies/sinus issues cause slight balance problems? I've been googling my symptoms but some sites even mention anemia but wouldn't that cause other symptoms as well? My family doctor took a look at my eyes as I pulled my eyelids and they are healthy pink as are my nail beds and he said I am not anemic. Just wondering if it can be the allergies with my anxiety making it worse.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, you have cold and sinus problems, and you have anxiety disorder, have a doubt that you might be anemic.
Some times you feel, balance problem. The reasons may be the hypertension, diabetis, infection of the internal ear secondary to the ear infection,or gastric hyper acidity. Anxiety may aggrivate the problem.
I advise you to consult an E.N.T. surgeon for diagnosis.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ranitidine, and cinnergine till the diagnosis is established.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
