Pressure in the nose and forehead definitely sound like sinus issues, but I've never heard of patients complaining of pain at the base of the skull along with dizziness which turned out to be a sinus infection. That part really sounds like something else.
I'd suggest going in to see a doctor soon. There are several simple tests he can do to rule out more serious things. Usually, simple infections and such don't linger on for 2 months causing dizziness. They either blow up into something really noticeable or they go away on their own. Not to scare you but things to consider are, strokes, brain tumors--I'm serious, and nerve problems. There are some nerves that run along the highest part of your spine where it meets with the skull. A pinched nerve there can cause pain in that area, nausea and even in some cases heart palpitations. So, it can't hurt you to be checked out by a professional. Don't just blame it on a sinus infection and ignore it.
I do hope you feel better.

Sinus infections can possibly go to the brain (the connection is obvious. See a DOCTOR
You could clear it up with simple meds. If you do not have insurance call your local County hospital, ASAP

This is definitely sinus congestion at best, and an infection at worst. It may have only recently developed into an infection, and you have to take antibiotics asap. the dizziness can happen because the congestion messes with your equilibrium

I just went to the dr. last week for my sinuses. My symptoms were headache in the front of my head, sinus pressure around my nose and under my eyes, nose stuffy, and puffy eyes. I think you need to go to the dr. since you are dizzy and have pain in the back of your head.

Sudafed, tylenol, and ibuprofen. Sudafed to clear up congestion in your sinuses. Tylenol for the headaches. Ibuprofen for any inflammation in your muscles and sinuses.
