I have been going through what i thought was a sinus infection, but im not sure now. I am a bit of a hypochondriac, and this is all I have been thinking about. I need to know if anything here sounds like a disease...been through three antbiotics
First a lot of sinus pressure and lightheadedness a.
Then I was and still to some extent was feeling a lot of pressure in between my teeth on the roof of my mouth. Especially when I turn to the right, which was weird. I felt pressure at the base of my neck also.
I have been having a lot of post nasal drip ever since. It was green and became a throat infection last month. Now its clear, but a lot of it, and it feels as if something is stuck in my throat.
Recently I still feel a little pressure, sometimes a lot in my head. Also I have been very lightheaded lately.
I have become somewhat of a hypochondriac, and worrying about me health has been making me stressed out and depressed. I am afraid something is much worse, please help.

Have you also been taking cold/sinus meds in addition to the antibiotics? They can be the cause of that lightheaded feeling. Sinus infections can often cause pain in your teeth (some of your sinuses are on the other side of your palate/roof of your mouth), so this is consistent (normal) with a sinus infection as is your green mucus. It is a good sign that the mucus is now clear. The feeling of something stuck in your throat is probably just swollen tonsils and lymph nodes in your neck. Drink lots of fluids, get some rest and try to quit worrying. By all means call your Dr. if it'll set your mind at ease...I'm pretty sure what you have is not going to kill you, but STRESS is a guaranteed health zapper. Hope you feel better soon.

I went through something similar last year.
Took 3 courses of antibiotics, but still not entirely well.
So I started (very) high level beneficial bacteria, and also anti-candida capsules. I think both of these together were critical. Finally this got me through.
Took 60 days total before the breakthrough. Hope yours goes faster.
BTW, it's not all hypochondria!!!
