Sinus Headache
Learn More About Sinus Headache
Chronic sinus pressure can be uncomfortable, keeping you from being able to focus at home or work. If you want to experience relief from your sinus pressure and nothing is working, the problem might be deeper than you think. Sinus pressure can commonly be caused by a viral cold, blocked sinus drainage pathways, a sinus infection, or nasal polyps. It is important not to ignore sinus pressure because it is usually a sign of an impending sinus infection or of a sinus infection that has already begun. Keep in mind that pain or pressure in the forehead is not always due to a sinus problem. Migraines and tension headache can often be mistaken for a sinus headache.
