Hi.
This looks to be complicated.
Nasal polyp in the nose and sinus on the same side may not give such severe symptoms unless there is complication like an infection or a fungus ball or a Caner. Cancer is least likely in your case as you are just 23 years old.
The pains you have described may be due to other causes also.
Like: Trigeminal neuralgia.
The tingling in the chest and the fingers can be due to cervical spine problem , which many of the people get who eork on computers continuously.
The headache
on straining can be due to eye-sight problem.
I would advise you the following::
*Check up by an Ophthalmologist for eyes.
* MRI of the sinuses and cervical spine ( as per your history)
* ENT Check-up for the ear and polyp problems.
This is going to be a multi-disciplinary treatment.
