I have been experiencing floaters for past 2 years. Last month I got a severe attack of sinusitis with eye pain, headache and tooth pain. After having the prescribed tablets the pain subsided. But two days back I had another attack. I had vomitting, severe eye pain above and below the eye and headache. I want to know if floaters and sinusitis is related. I am extremely anxious about the floaters as the internet says it is a warning of retina detachment. Also this time after checking sinus area, doctor says there is a growth. And after having tablets for 7 days only we can scan and check the seriousness of it. I am extremely worried. I am a 35 year old healthy male. I haven't faced major health issues till now and have never got sinusitis before last month, in fact I rarely get a cold. I'm extremely worried. Kindly consult on treating the sinusitis and floater issue?

No, Floaters & sinusitis are less likely to be related unless the sinusitis is associated with any complications. Floaters are commonly associated with eye conditions like Myopia. It could be an orbital complication of sinusitis.
Next Steps
You might require a consultation of an Eye Specialist along with consultation of an ENT Surgeon like me.
