Severity of Headaches From Sinusitus Posted: 12-27-03 01:22am
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 3 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 Posted: 01-16-04 01:20am
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.
