Q: Severity of Headaches From Sinusitus
asked by: pauloh on December 27th, 2003

I was diagnosed with acute sinusitus about 6 months ago and had nasal polyps removed at that time after having a ct scan done. I did feel better for about 4 months but in the last few months the post nasal drip and headaches have returned along with some gastrointestinal problems which I think are somehow related (gerd, abdominal pains) since they have flared up with my original symptoms and then when they returned. My ent showed me the before and after ct scans and they look beautiful - no fluid, blockage is gone, but he doesnt know why my symptoms are back - not that he has tried that hard to figure it out. He referred me to an allergist who seems to be interested in treating me with a longer course of antibiotics and nasal steroid spray. My confusion is in the headaches im experiencing - I have no history of headaches prior (im 3Cool and the headaches I have basically never go away. They can go from a faint to strong severity in the course of a day. I may have a day when I don't have a headache at all. They also move around my head - I can have a strong pain over my eye all day and then nothing there for weeks. They can be at the back of my head, on the top and over and behind my eyes. I also have pain in both ears. Does this sound similar to what others are experiencing? - I almost can't believe these headaches are related to my sinuses since they are so strong and feel like someone is applying pressure to my head!

Constant Headache
I feel your pain. I have had a headache for 3 weeks, maybe 4. It is on the right side of forehead and into my eye brow. It goes up into my hair line and half way back to my ear. The bottom of my face and chin are numb. I go to the Dr. Monday. I will come back on and let you know what I found out.

the intensity of headache you have expressed can be caused due to sinusitis. Homoeopathy can cure the tendency for sinusitis and thereby prevent headache.
