pain in head

Hi there since july 2007 I have been sufering over and over from sinus infections and headaches. In decmeber they said it was  enviromental alergies that was causing it but I am not sure I have folowed all the drs recomendations and then this past week the headache came again my ears feel plugged, I feel nautious all the time, my temples hurt to touch them, I am dizzy all the time and feel weak. only time i get some releife is when I am sleeping. I see a ear nose and throat specialist on the 31st. I never had headahces until I had a major concusion and now I get them more and more. In june i  hit my head and ended up with a  concusion and again in november while steping over my dogs hit my head nockingmyself unconcious. I am not sure if the concusions have anything to do with it but I like to know if these symptos could be something more then just enviromental alergies. I use nasonex, and antihistimines, I was on prednizone 5mg and also was on singulair even though I do not have asthma my dr took me off nasonex and put me on flownase with no change. if anyone has any idea of what this is please let me now.

I thought I would let ya all know i saw the ent yesterday that was a waste all he said is there in no sinus infection and he has no idea what going on. he said surgery on my sinuses will not fix the issue. the pain in my temples he said was not sinus and even my plugged feeling ear has has no resoning for it. I am totaly frustrated as this has affected my job when I can not work. So i have to drag myself back to my dr and try to figure out why I keep having headaches that affects whole head why I feel congested and ears feel plugged, why I am numb now on right side of face why i am nautious all the time now and so so sleepy i can sleep 14 hrs no prob a day if I could or beter yet 24 hrs would be even beter, had low grade fever few days agoand also I am starting to put words in when I  am thinking something else, like the other night I was talking to my fiance and  wanted to say my toes curled but my mouth said my eyes curl. I am starting to feel like this is in my head but I know its not. the only thing the ent specialist said was  that hes never seen an alergy list like mine so there still a chance all this is enviromental maybe I need to just live in a buble.

Hi,

Have you got any relief from the antihistamine medications or steroid nasal sprays and antibiotics.

You need to talk to your ENT specialist about how severe the sinusitis is and could it be the cause of your symptoms. Also discuss with him / her the surgical and other options available and what would be most beneficial in your case.

Do let us know what your doctor advises.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

I had a few ct scan one for the sinus and one for the concusion they won't use dyes because afraid of my alergies so not sure how well they work there was  nothing significant that showed up. I am alergic to alot of things and since november have been off work because of them,  the headaches, and the sinus.

Hi,

Was a CT scan of the head done when you had the concussion?

It would be advisable to get a CT scan of the head and sinuses done.
