Overview

Sinus headache affects approximately 30 million Americans annually, presenting as pressure and pain in the forehead, cheekbones, and around the eyes. Unlike migraines, sinus headache is typically accompanied by nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, and pain that worsens with bending forward. It is often triggered by respiratory infections, allergies, or barometric pressure changes.
