Dizziness: I'm searching for the unknown cause

@bride, this may be a longshot, but I used to have chronic sinusitis every winter. Over the counter nasal sprays helped but taking antibiotics solved the problem. I hoped for a better solution. One doctor finally asked if I drank a lot of water. I had not but decided to drink more water during the winter months. I have not had sinusitis since.

@tonyinmi I had same problem for several years. My ENT also recommended drinking more water so I now also take a bottle to bed every night and sip it. But he also recommended using a sinus rinse and since I've been doing both, no sinusitis. I used to get a couple of sinus attacks every winter but last winter was first time without.

Thank you, Tony! We tend to ignore the simple solutions. And this is one that can't hurt! I don't drink a lot of water but will certainly up my intake. It fits with the advice in a book on sinusitis where the author said the key is to "keep the river of liquid flowing from the sinuses".
