Can having a stuffed up nose make you feel dizzy?

Question

I have a really stuffed up nose. Sometimes it's ok and bearable and other times it's making me so frustrated because it's all in the back of my head it feels like (if that makes sense) and I cant blow it out, nothing happens. It's making me feel dizzy is this normal??? What can I do to unblock my nose I feel pretty icky =(

Answer 1

its probably allergies.

that happens to me and my friend.

Answer 2

While the stuffy nose itself won't make you dizzy, whatever is causing the stuffed nose can certainly do it.  Usually dizziness means there is a problem with the inner ear, and an upper respiratory infection can give you an ear infection that will make you dizzy or nauseated.  At this point, your best bet would probably be a visit to the doctor to have things checked out.  It may be you have developed a viral labyrinthitis, or you have a blockage in the eustachian tubes.  It may also be all in the ears themselves, and not actually in the nose at all.  If your nose is actually stuffed up, to where you can't breathe through it, then a decongestant medicine may also help open the ears to drain and solve the dizzy problem.
