My ENT once told me that when you lie down the fluid in your body shifts and can cause nasal congestion. This could likely be causing your headaches. I know it causes pressure which can lead to a headache. You may want to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist. If you need a referral for your insurance, call your primary care physician and see if they can give it to you. I hope this helps. - T

yes for sure it could be i get them alot when i lay down it kind of rolls back into you canals and gives you eadaches. Trust me i have had bad allergies ever since i can remember

Hello, yes, sinus pressure built up can casue bad headaches, one does not have to lie down for this to occur. Also, allergies, seasonal or just something that is new to your environment can casue headaches. Mix 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 tsp baking soda and 1/2 cup lukewarm water. Mix all to stir well, then close off your left nostril, pur a little of hte salt/water mixture into your right hand and snort some of the salt/water mixture. then change sides, close off your right nostril and snort in some of the mixture. I do this everyday to clear my sinuses and it releaves the pressure built up inside my head. My ear, nose and throat Dr. prescribes this to all his patients....its all natural and it works..lots of folks can't snort things, but its worth learning how!

Hello again! Since sinus pressure can be caused by many things, including a cold or flu, sinus infection, hay fever, or Vasomotor Rhinitis I have tried to find you a link with some good information. Some of the information on this link refers to infants and children, but the basic information is the same. It explains the different causes and the common treatments. If you are not having any nasal discharge then the saline mixture that Fairy*Godmother suggested would probably work. My husband says that it has been recommended by his Dr. also. But be careful if you are having any discharge. Make note of it. If it does not clear up within a few days you may need to see a doctor to get treatment. Sinus infections can be serious if they get too bad.

Smart thinking there Quincybug, it never occured to me about the nasal drainage thing. Guess cause mine stays so DRY...... Thanks for sharing the sinus infect info, I have a friend who has just been diagnosed with this and it has a boat load of info!

I had the results from a scan that my Neuro Dr. wanted. I always have a copy of any test sent to me along with the doctor. Than I look it up on the computer to see whats up.

Two flags were noted on the FINAL RESULTS
1) "There are prominent level 1 lymp nodes demonstrated biaterally. These however do not meet size criterion for pathology."

2) "Mucus retention cysts or polyp is demonistrated in the right maxillary sinus."

I will try the salt/baking soda/warm water from the God Mother. I thank you.
Should I go see a allergery Doctor, ear, eye, throat?
I have an appointment with the Neuro Dr Tuesday to discuss the Final Results of my scan.

After much research online. I think what I may have is a form of Occipital Lymph Node glands swollen, and or blocked, thus causing my headache problem.

Any feed back?
