@rashida Good luck in finding an ENT who is willing to take a deep dive into your problem. Please let us know how you make out. The mantra here in my Delaware medical community is "medicate, medicate, medicate"! No "let's try something else" or "I'm going to refer you to (fill in the blank). My ENT just says, in response to my sinus issues, "Spray more Flonase into your nose". Instead, I bought one of those Navage-like sinus machines. It does a great job in clearing out my sinuses. Add to that a couple of sprays of Flonase in each nostril. I'm set for clear breathing all night long.

@heisenberg34 I have no problem breathing - just the tinnitus I have had for as long as I remember, and occasional dizzy spells often within taking certain medications or even supplements.
In Ontario, Canada, the mantra is the same as in Delaware! lol. The first thing I am asked ant every appointment is whether I have a drug plan. When I say I don’t their interest definitely wanes! 😄
Each time I am referred to a specialist I brace myself for that. Surprisingly, I have come across some who don’t push drugs but I suspect they have been warned by my family doctor that I resist taking medications so they just write me off as a lost cause because of my history of fighting against prescriptions. lol. I feel some won’t even accept a referral from my family doctor for this reason.
