How to Deal With Sinus Headaches

By sinus On September 25, 2008 No Comments

Sinus headache is a headache that occurs because your sinuses are congested with mucus. Sinus headache is caused by inflammation of sinus tissue, either due to bacterial infection or allergic reactions. Sinus headaches can be the result of a sinus infection or allergies. Sinus headache pain is due to swelling in the sinus cavities. Sinus headache is one of the many kinds of headaches which is often associated with sinusitis or an inflamed sinus. An inflamed sinus blocked the nasal passage which triggers the pain in your head. Usually, sinus headache pain is due to swelling in the sinus cavities around the nose and eyes. Often caused by allergies or infections, sinus headaches may be accompanied by fever, a stuffy nose, or toothaches. Leaning forward or lying down may increase sinus headache pain. Sinus headaches cause a dull, deep, or severe pain in the front of your head and face. Bending down or leaning over generally makes the pain worse, as does cold and damp weather. Sinus headaches are often worse in the morning, and better by afternoon. Vascular headaches are often mistaken for sinus headaches. Most sinus problems happen when the patient has had a cold or a sore throat. Some occur after a dental infection. Sometimes hay fever or irritation from dust or smoke causes swelling.

They are caused by an inflammation in the passages behind the cheeks, nose, and eyes. A sinus headache is usually being triggered by something you ate in conjunction with an active sinus infection. Migraine can also cause head pain and nasal drainage and be triggered by changes in the weather or season. The pain in a sinus headache is usually localized around the eyes, and you may actually feel some tenderness. Some symptoms of a sinus headache include pain or pressure in the forehead or around the eyes and cheek(s), tender skin and tender bones over and under the eyes. With a sinus headache, you will often deal with post nasal drip, which is a collection of mucus in the back of your throat when you’re lying on your back. You may also be congested. These symptoms are also typical of migraine. However, a sinus infection will last considerably longer, and if it becomes worse you may feel generally sick and even have a fever (with migraine you may feel like you have a fever, but you usually don’t). Fatigue is common. Stooping down, jarring your head (including with exercise, such as jogging or aerobics), or blowing your nose may make your headache feel worse.

Sinus headache can be problematic the condition is wholly treatable. The treatment of headaches with prophylactic medication begins with low doses. The use of nasal vasoconstrictors and pain pill medicine can be used. Sometimes anticonvulsants such as Tegretol, Depakote, and Dilantin are given for headache treatment. When the condition has been cleared then the treatment for sinus headache pain can begun. Trigger points should be at the top of the list during any examination for headaches and eye pain. When healthcare practitioners have had adequate training and experience, trigger points are easy to locate and treat. The major prescription drugs that are used for headache treatment are beta blockers like Tenormin and Lopressor. Calcium channel blockers such as Cardizem, Dilacor, and Procardia are also used. Doctors may also prescribe antidepressants like Elavil and Zoloft. You can use Serotonin Antagonists like Sansert. Tylenol and Panadol are known as Acetaminophen drugs. Taking an over the counter medication, such as Sudafed, can help with this aliment. Motrin and Advil belong to the group of drugs that are known as Ibuprofen.Sprinkle cayenne pepper on your food. Adding that quick, hot spice to some scrambled eggs in the morning could help that morning pressure with sinusitis.

The Sinus Infection Headache

Nowadays there are many advertisements for pills that treat sinus infection and many people have come to think that all their headaches are caused by a sinus infection. This is very untrue, because there are many differences between a sinus infection headache and a headache caused by other problems.

When you have a sinus infection, one of the symptoms will surely be a headache. However, this headache that is caracteristic for sinusitis, which is a sinus infection, only happens while you are awake. The headaches that you might experience during the night are rarely, if ever, caused by a sinus infection. However, if there is any change in the pressure of the atmosphere or in the temperature, a sinus infection may appear together with a headache. To better understand this, here are some examples. If you are in an airplane, where there is a change in pressure, this is a good enough reason to suffer from a headache that was caused by your sinus, even if you do not suffer from any sinus infection. There are people that say that their headaches caused by the sinus appear when the whether changes. Those people do not necessarily have a very bad sinus infection. When you suffer from a headache or a pressure in your face that can be associated with a sinus infection, then there are some more symptoms that come along. A nasal blockage is almost always found in sinus infection problems. For this symptom of a sinus infection there are special nose sprays that you can buy from the pharmacy, no prescription needed.

There are a lot of factors that can cause a sinus infection. The most common reason why one can develop a sinus infection is because an upper respiratory problem. This has caused the person to have a swelling or a blockage in his/ her nose. As a result, your sinus may be affected, leading to a sinus infection. Sinusitis, which is a sinus infection, can be at first caused by a viral infection of the sinus. However, after a few days, this sinus infect on can become a bacterial infection. If this is the case, then you will experience pus in your nose. People that suffer from sinus infections on a regular bases can also have one or even more conditions that make them susceptible to sinus infection. There causes that add up to sinus infection risk are a deviated septum, polyps or allergies.

Loose productive cough at night (excess mucus): GERD (Acid reflux), asthma or sinus problem?

By sinus On September 17, 2008 5 Comments
sinus problem
Daemon Kogura asked:


I’ve had a chronic loose productive cough with asthma attack for 2 years. Chest x-rays taken said they were clear. Months ago a doctor told me it was probably acid reflux cough without heartburn.
With diet and stomach protective pills daytimes cough attacks after meals are now very rare but still I wake up at night (between 1AM and 3AM) coughing and expelling mucus. Sitting for 30/60 minutes makes the symptom disappear and sleeping the rest of the night is perfect. Asthma inhalers spray helps a lot because it makes breathing easyer but I don’t think it’s appropriate.

Also mostly late evening and night, I feel lungs full of mucus and during the daytime I’ve to clear my nose often.

I’d like to know if the facts are connected in some way, if GERD is the cause of the pulmonary mucus (bronchitis), the cough with asthma and the nose running (I noticed the nose closing after excessive food).

Or maybe it is a paranasal sinuses problem that is now causing everything.

What do you think?

Symptoms of Sinusitis

Every year, millions of people suffer from sinus infections. Sinusitis is another name for sinus infection. A sinus infection is simply an inflammation or infection of the sinus cavities. The sinus cavities are hollow air pockets inside of our head.

Sometimes it can be very difficult to tell whether or not you have a sinus infection or something else. There are many common symptoms of a sinus infection that you should review to help you determine what is causing your discomfort.

Sinusitis produces a unique set of symptoms that depends upon which of the particular sinuses is being affected. One common characteristic of sinusitis is experiencing a headache upon waking in the morning. If you experience pain in the forehead, it could indicate an infection of the frontal sinuses.

An infection in the maxillary sinuses can cause your cheeks to be sore to the touch and can also create toothaches. The ethmoid sinuses are located near the corner of the eyes and inflammation of the ethmoid sinus cavities can lead to swelling of the eyelids and the tissues surrounding the eyes. Inflammation of the ethmoid sinuses can also cause soreness or tenderness to the sides of the nose, a stuffy nose or even a loss of the sense of smell.

The sphenoid sinuses are the least frequently affected of the sinuses. When the sphenoid sinuses do become infected, it can lead to earaches or neck pain.

It is important to be aware that most people who have sinus infections experience pain or tenderness in multiple locations. Furthermore, the symptoms don’t usually give a clear definition of which particular sinuses are affected.

Some other common sinus infection symptoms include fever, weakness, tiredness, coughing and nasal congestion. In addition, drainage of mucus from the sinuses down the back of the throat can cause a sore throat. This is a condition called postnasal drip.

If you feel that you may be suffering from sinusitis, you should contact your physician immediately. He or she can examine you and perform some tests that will help you with your diagnosis.
