How Can Frequent Headaches With Sinus Pressure Be Treated?

default
Posted on Thu, 8 Jun 2017
Question: Hello. I am one of those people who develop headaches , including sinus pressure whenever the weather turns cloudy and the rain arrives. Just like this morning.
Is there anything that I can do to prevent this? I seem to experience it more frequently as I get older. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
How long does each episode of these headaches last?

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this headache. There is so much more that we need to understand about these headaches so as to be able to propose helpful strategies to you.

1. How long doest each episode last?
2. Have you tried any drug? If yes, was it effective?
3. Have you ever been diagnosed and managed for migraines?
4. Do you have hypertension?

These would help me craft a personalized and helpful response to you.

For now, I will recommend tylenol for relief: 1000mg every 8hours. As we figure out the exact cause, we would be able to make more helpful recommendations. However, this may boil down to environmental causes that might be very difficult to totally avoid but for control.

I wish you well and hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience.

Thanks. Actually I will just take one or two Tylenol and pseudephedrine. Then I feel fine. I did it this morning. It's usually a one time event, usually in the early morning. But I guess there's no way to actually prevent this prevention...?? It happens usually once or twice a week.

Brief Answer:
Unfortunately, we can always twist the weather conditions!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I will say always take the necessary dugs to alleviate this. We really don’t always have much control over the weather conditions. Am not sure asking you to relocate is warranted at this time and more so because you haven’t had any debilitating crises at this time.

I wish you well and am always available to address any worries that you may have.
