Sinuses are gaps filled with air surrounding nose, cheeks and eyes. Some times swelling occurs in the sinuses. This leads to a headache, which is known as Sinus headache. The pain is experienced in the head and the face.
The pain aggravates when the person bends or leans down. Sinus also aggravates in winter and in damp weather. Sinus headache may strike in the wee hours of morning.
Signs and Symptoms of Sinus Headaches -
Sinus headaches generally have these symptoms:
- Terrible pain in certain areas of the face or head.
- Severe pain is felt while bending forward.
Other symptoms that could be due to sinus are
- Sore throat or throat infection.
- Yellow or green discharge from your nose
- Nasal congestion
- Fever
- Weakness
- Tiredness
Sinus headaches can be caused when the sinus is blocked with mucus or when there is swelling in the sinus, known as sinusitis. Sinusitis could be the result of infection like common cold.
The function of the sinus is to throw the mucus out of the body and allow free flow of air in the nasal passage. When there is swelling in the sinuses, the nasal passage gets compressed. As a result, mucus cannot be thrown out of the body and the air cannot circulate freely.
Since the mucus is not thrown, a host of bacteria, viruses and fungus thrive in the sinus. The doctor will check nose to check if it is blocked. The doctor will press the area around the nose and eyes to if the skin appears soft.
In case of chronic sinusitis, the doctor may suggest an x-ray, or CT scan, or MRI.

- Nasal sprays or drops can be used to clear nasal passages.

- Cinnamon powder dissolved in water and applied on forehead helps in relieving the headache.
- Avoid cold drinks and cold food.
- Get some good sleep. Sinus gets better with rest.
