I have had headaches for over 6 wks now.My sinuses hurt.Sometimes my ears hurt,my head hurts.At first I also had a very stiff neck that hurt really bad.I went to a wknd dr that said it was my neck causing the pain since I didn't have any congestion or drainage and gave me valium for a muscle relaxer.I had already made an appt with a new dr for that following monday so I went in and she did a sinus xray.She wasn't real sure after seeing it but thought it was a sinus infection and gave me an antibiotic called omnicef.After taking it I still was hurting and she wasn't available so I went to one of her partners.She sent me for a mri and it showed sinus inflammation and mucous buildup.She gave me levaquin.It wasn't helping and I had already made an appt with a ent so I went in and he said after 17 days of antibiotics I still had a sinus infection.He gave me prednisone and a saline nasal spray.That didn't help so I went back to my original Dr.He gave me another antibiotic which I don't remember the name.He told me to come back in 2 wks and if it wasn't any better he would probably send me for a cat scan.My appt is next wednesday.Although my headache is some better my sinuses still hurt and it also hurts under my eyes.So if your sinuses hurt it could be a sinus infection even without any sinus symptoms.I would insist on a mri.

Sometimes sinus problems are confused with migraines.

In some cases migraines could even be triggered by sinus problems.


You ears, your eyes (tear ducts) and your nose are all connected.

Learning to clean out your sinuses with a facial dip is often quite effective at relieving the pressure.


Basically you put around a tablespoon of salt into a bowl or sink of warm water (40 degress c approx).

Immerse your face in the water blink your eyes and blow bubbles.

ree heIf your nose is blocked block one nostril with the handle of a spoon or utensil and draw water up and blow it out gently and repeatedly until your nose is clear.

Repeat for the other nostril.


If you are unable to clear your sinuses this way you may have to use a specially designed device called a grossan sinus irrigator.


I will post my full notes on migraines for you in this forum.


I hope something here helps.

Dr joel wallach had this disease renamed after him - wallach's vertigo.

His theory is that calcium deficiency causes overgrowth of the bone matrix leading to pressure on a nerve coming through the skull.


He suggests 2000mg calcium with 1000mg magnesium daily in divided doses.
