Any help for sinus headaches which seem to be barometeric related?
Posted by: Alan in Sinus Relief, tags: barometeric, Headaches, Help, Related, Seem, SinusAnti inflammatory meds seem to help, but my body gets used to meds so they stop working.When air pressure drops,so do I from reality.I used to have migraines,so I know these are not migraines
Spring,fall,last 2 weeks of the year & 1st 2 weeks of the year are the hardest times for me
Right before rain is here (storms are worst!)Bad times also when I’m dizzy,nauseated,& weak.Sometimes I collapse in weakness.At times my ear canals ring,feel pressure or even hurt.
Drs just give me antihistamines,which sometimes work on allergies,but never for sinuses.The only time I ever get sinus infection is when I have this 3 days.But these headaches almost always last 4-6 hours.No comfort,no relief
Airplane take off/landing make me real dizzy,&I feel sinus pressure start.It’s gone soon after landing
As a kid, in elevators,I would squat in the corner with my head in my hands.I’m adult now,still get a bit dizzy,but not bad.I have more body mass
Any ideas?
Correction, the headaches last 4-16 hours

You can get many different kinds of migraine and I would think that you have a different kind of migrain.
You need medical attension to eliminate the possibility of brain cancer.
You may also have epilepsy.
Seek doctor ASAP.

I know how you feel, I get sinus infections so bad that I have a hard time getting out of bed, but I a baby who needs me. but what helps me is saline Nasal mist that helps to break up the sinus pressurre. I try to take meds but nothing else helps. I hope this helps you. feel better soon. You can get this medication at any drug store.

what you describe sounds a little like blood pressure problems too. i have been diagnosed and suffering from bad sinus problems for the past 13 years and i do get migraines but these often start from acute facial aches/pains, where the face feels like its been beaten many times, then proceeds on to migraines. i do suffer from some of the problems you listed too. sadly i have not found a drug that helps, i tried so many but always cave in and take painkillers in the end.

I am on my fourth day of a sinus/migraine headache. Always worse in April and October. When the seasons begin to change they erupt. I used to think these were migraines but when the meds didn’t provide relief, I began to explore sinus problems. My advice is to visit an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) Dr. They will run a CAT Scan to determine the condition of your sinuses. My doctor advised me that all of my sinuses are blocked and that surgery may be my only option. I believe this surgery will involve cleaning/clearing the sinuses and then enlarging them to prevent further problems. I suffer from barotrauma when flying and it is a most unpleasant experience.
Until then I recommend taking sinus medication as soon as you feel the pressure begin to build. Then rest in a darkened room for at least 20 minutes. Drink plenty of fluids and try not to bend over. A cold compress on the area may also provide relief.
Good Luck!
