Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of passing out in ER, the whooshing in left ear along with head pressure indicate that you have a problem with the central nervous system and hence a clinical evaluation by a Neurologist and an MRI should be done at the earliest.
At the same time a CT scan of the sinuses can help evaluate the sinusitis issue.
Further treatment will definitely depend upon the clinical examination and investigations.
Second opinion of an ENT Surgeon will help a lot.
