Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern.
The headache you described could be a related to sinusitis. Other causes also need to be ruled out. Please get your blood pressure and if any focal neurologic deficits develop, rush to an E.R immediately. Migraine can typically result in similar ways and can be treated accordingly.
You can take Tylenol with naproxen sodium or Sumatriptan plus naproxen (in acute migraine headaches, if no contraindication) and metoclopramide for the headache empirically, in consult with your doctor. If its sinusitis , antibiotics and anti histamines plus Fluticasone nasal sprays would be prescribed.
Nefazodone should start its effect within two weeks, for full effect atleast 6 to 8 weeks are required.
Let me know if you have any query
wishing you best of health
Thanks
