Head pains
by smiler366, Jul 18, 2008 12:31PM
Could you tell me please why sinus head pains are worse in the morning. I have had blocked nose, catarrh, & congestion along with head pains. The remaining symptoms are head pains which are worse on waking in the morning, I have seen my GP who gave me an examination & said my chest was clear, I revisited the GP I was given Carbocisteine 375mg which helped the catarrh to disperse, I mentioned the head pains on both occasions but no comment was made. I had my eyes tested routinely no problem was found. I don't have any blurred vision, or dizziness just the head pains.
I would be very grateful for your comments.
Thank you

Hello,
Sinus headaches are caused by sinus congestion and inflammation (called sinusitis). The sinuses are air-filled spaces lined with mucous membranes surrounding the forehead, cheeks and eyes. Healthy sinuses allow mucus to drain and air to circulate throughout the nasal passages. When sinuses become inflamed, these areas get blocked and mucus cannot drain. This lack of proper sinus drainage can lead to infection. Worse pain in the morning because mucus has been collecting and draining all night
Diagnosis can be made by examination, transillumination, xrays, a CT scan, or an MRI.
The best way to avoid or get rid of a sinus headache is to treat the underlying sinus inflammation and, if present, clear any infection by using antibiotics. Treating the inflammation involves anything from using a humidifier to taking medicines to surgically drain of the mucous in the sinuses.
In case you need any more information,pls post us.
How are you?
The sinus headaches are usually worse in the morning due to collection of fluid in the sinuses without adequate drainage. During wakefulness the upright posture helps the drainage of sinuses somewhat.
Please take steam inhalation at least 3-4 times a day and once before bedtime. This will help in better drainage of the sinuses and alleviate your symptoms
