Headaches Over Eyes Posted: 07-23-04 07:51am
I get headaches over my eyes on a daily
basis. Advil will usually null the
headache when it does not get too bad.
Although I have been to dozens of doctors
over the years and tried to get some help
for the headaches, I have not seen any
real benefit. Although doctors usually
tell me they are a form of migraine, I
have sinusitus and wonder if that is the
real problem.

Migraines can often feel like sinus
headaches. Most likely if you've taken
decongestants, tried antibiotics for
sinusitis and it doesn't help, then it is
probably a migraine. The other thing is
chronic rhinitus, which is basically
chronic irritation of the sinuses without
infection. Have you tried preventive
therapy for migraines? (basically taking
daily meds instead of meds when you have
the headache)

Sinus Or Migraine Headaches Posted: 01-15-05 15:24pm
Hi,
I was just reading ur post. I have sinus
headaches all the time....Usually when I
take ibprophine for it , it works...But
sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I have
the headaches for two and three days none
stop. My husband has just today said
something to me about him hearing on the
radio that a lot of people tend to think
they are having a sinus headache, because
of where it is located...But actually it
is really a migraine....Just not the bad
ones that make you sick. How true is this
and in my case would you talk to the dr
about it? He had me on allegra at one
time and I thought it was helping me..But
then I started having the headaches
again...So I stopped taking it.

I have had migraines 4 days a week for 1
1/2 yrs atleast. So my doctor says.
I've done everything, mri's ct scans
epalepsy meds, migraine meds. Finally my
doctor perscribed me "cymbalta." I
struggle with depression too, oh my, this
is a wonder drug. It makes me happy, and
helps with the pain. I still get a
headache atleast once a week, but nothing
like before.
Spendy, but worth the money.
