Sinus Headache - #6993
I’ve been dealing with Sinus Headaches lately, and I’m trying to figure out if that’s really what I have. What exactly is a Sinus Headache, and how is it different from a migraine or tension headache?? From what I read, Sinus Headaches happen when the sinuses become inflamed or blocked, leading to pressure around the forehead, cheeks, and eyes. But how do you know if a headache is really from sinus issues and not just a regular headache? Do Sinus Headaches always come with nasal congestion?? I also saw that Sinus Headaches can be triggered by allergies, infections, or even weather changes. Does that mean people with seasonal allergies are more likely to get them? And how can you tell the difference between a Sinus Headache and a headache from a cold or flu?? One thing I really want to know—what’s the best way to treat a Sinus Headache? Do painkillers like ibuprofen work, or do you need something that treats the underlying sinus inflammation? And do home remedies like steam inhalation or saline rinses actually help?? For those who have experienced Sinus Headaches, what worked best for you? Did you need prescription medication, or were natural treatments enough??
