Sinus pressure

Sinus pressure headaches can play havoc with your life, the headaches following an episode of sinusitis and can be quite annoying and affect your activities of daily living.

I have seen it firsthand, the sinus cavities of the skull become clogged and inflamed due to allergies, infections, and other irritants, all this activity causes the pressure on the sinuses to increase.

Repeated headaches

Repeated headaches such as tension or migraine can often be confused with a sinus headache so it’s important to find out if the symptoms are because of your sinuses.

Your doctor will know if the sinuses are blocked based on a physical check-up and the symptoms that you describe, in some cases a cat scan or MRI scan may be needed.

You can also use inhaled nasal decongestants, but only for up to 3 days. Longer use can make your symptoms worse.

Sinus headache symptoms

People with sinus headaches will describe the pain as being felt over the affected area which may feel tender upon touching, some have described the pain as a feeling of unpleasant pressure that can get worse by changing the head position or when getting up after lying down.

Discharge

Where there is inflammation a yellow-green discharge from the nasal passage is common which may signal that there is an infection present.

Chills, fever, body aches, and tiredness are other symptoms that an infection may be developing, if the maxillary sinuses are inflamed there may be pain in the jaw or upper teeth area.

A sinus infection can sometimes be accompanied by swollen lymph nodes in the neck.

Sinus Headache causes?

Inflammation in the sinus tissues plays a major part in causing a sinus headache because the inflamed tissues become swollen producing a discharge clogging up the drainage system within the sinuses.

This discharge causes pressure on the sinuses and leads to a sinus headache. Some of the main reasons for the inflammation are 1. Infection 2. An allergic reaction like hay fever 3. Irritation

A viral infection is the most common cause of a sinus infection followed by a bacterial or fungal infection of the sinuses, infections of the upper teeth can spread into the sinuses through the maxillary sinuses located in the cheekbone.

---

There have been some very rare cases where a malignant or benign tumor could penetrate the sinuses and cause a blockage leading to a sinus headache.

Sinus headache treatments

Depending on whether your symptoms are mild or severe the treatment will vary:

Mild symptoms treatments: For sinus pressure relief that lasts several hours try inhaling steam with eucalyptus oil 2-4 times each day, and keep a humidifier in the room where you spend the most time, a dry room will irritate the sinuses.

---

Medications for example Tylenol, decongestants as well as nasal irrigation (Neti-pot) or nasal rinse set (nasal bidet) are used to relieve sinusitis pain.

---

Chronic symptoms treatments: Include antibiotics, decongestants, and sometimes nasal irrigation, in some cases minor surgery may be performed to free the nasal passage from a build-up of bacteria or mucus.

Post nasal drip

Post-nasal drip is to some extent a familiar symptom of a cold, flu, sinus, rhinitis, acid reflux, or infection. and acid reflux.

Birth control pills, Allergens, smoke, birth control tablets, and dust can spark post-nasal drip.

Generally speaking, the production of mucus is necessary for the body to function properly by stopping bacteria and foreign invaders from entering the system.

---

Excess mucus

thin watery mucus runs down the back of your nasal passage towards the back of the throat causing the post-nasal drip. Thick or excess mucus can be difficult to clear from the back of the throat and can also cause post-nasal drip.

Normally, our body’s defense system will clear the mucus when we swallow, however on occasions other bugs such as allergies or colds will cause mucus buildup, it doesn’t clear away and develops into an annoying drip down the back of your throat.

If not treated in time it can lead to persistent cough, sore throat, and ear infection.

2. Sore throat

3. Nausea and fatigue

4. Dry mouth

5. Bad breath

Post-Nasal Drip Treatment

Coughing, wheezing, halitosis, snorting, sore throat, and congestion can be obvious and disconcerting.

You may notice an increase in coughing or wheezing during allergy season, or these symptoms can affect you year-round.

• If post-nasal drip symptoms are related to allergies, antihistamines and in some cases nasal steroids, can help alleviate the problem.
• A doctor may suggest allergy injections as a long-term solution for allergy-related post-nasal drip.

• For post-nasal drip caused by birth control pills, your doctor may switch you to a different pill or recommend an alternative method of birth control.

• Sinusitis is one of the more serious causes of post-nasal drip and is commonly treated with antibiotics, decongestants, and sometimes nasal irrigation.
• In more severe and chronic cases, minor surgery may be needed to drain the sinus passages of built-up mucus and bacteria.

• When the mucus from post-nasal drip accumulates and mixes with anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria in tonsil crevices, small, odorous formations called tonsil stones begin to form.

Home remedies for Sinusitis

There are several simple, inexpensive remedies you can try at home to alleviate both post-nasal drip and bad breath.

The first is a specialty breath freshening throat spray designed to neutralize odors and cleanse away irritants.

To banish drip-related odor quickly, consider gargling with a specialty breath freshening rinse or a mixture of warm water with a little salt.

This can cleanse away mucus, soothe your throat, and may even potentially dislodge tonsil stones lurking in the back of your mouth.

If symptoms don’t diminish, see a doctor to rule out tonsil stones or other problems, get an accurate diagnosis, and post-nasal drip treatment recommendations.
