What Causes Severe Headache And Nasal Congestion While On Pacemaker?

I m 79 years old, female, with a pacemaker, and had a one-time horrific headache that lasted three or four days. With that I had severe nasal mucous so i thought it was the flu. I m not so sure now that it was the flu. Can you help me with that? Thank you very much.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Headache and nasal congestion are commonly seen with sinusitis (infection and inflammation of paranasal sinuses).
No need to worry for pacemaker related complications.
Do steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
Drink more fluids.
If it recur again then consult ENT doctor for endoscopic examination of sinuses.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
