Sinus/Allergy

Hey Guys,
Ok, I am a 32 year old 5th grade teacher and have had a horrible second half of the school year with upper respiratory colds. I have been on antibiotics three or four times. What really worries me is the headaches/fuzzy head feelings that I have been getting either before or after my sinus issues. The bout with my colds seems to last a couple of weeks (3-4) at a time before they completely go away. I also have been prescribed some med's for acid reflux. Has this been adding to my misery? It has been driving me crazy. I switched Dr.'s and was real honest about my symptoms, because I was really worried about the pressure in my head. The only way I can desrcibe them is that they have a real full/pressure feeling near the forehead or right behind my eyes. Towards the end of the day I feel some pain down my neck and it was hard to focus with all the reading and data entry I do. I notice that the pain around my head can be in different places. Now I am afraid that my constant worry about my headaches/pressure are only adding to them. My Dr., who has a great bed-side manner, did not seem overly concerned just yet about the headaches. How concerned should I be about them? Things have finally been getting better, but for awhile it was hard to get through the school day. I live in the Midwest where it has rained and we have HIGH mold counts right now. Just looking for some other people's advice. I am very paranoid about things since I have a one year old son that depends on me:) I always assume the worst possible diagnosis, brain tumors etc..... Thanks
