How are you? With your history of chronic sinusitis, your headache may be due to this condition. All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. It is important to have regular follow-ups with your doctor for monitoring as well as alleviate your fears. Also, try some stress reduction techniques such as humor, drink plenty of water, get enough sleep or catnaps.

Take care and keep us posted.
