It is very important to have daily or constant headaches evaluated by your physician, as there are many causes that need to be ruled out before, including sinus obstruction or sinusitis. If it is determined that the pain is from problems within your sinuses, the cause of the sinus problem can then be determined, relief provided and further problems prevented through evaluation by an otolaryngologist(ear, nose and throat doctor) and an allergist/immunologist.

Headaches can have many sources in the head and neck. For example: nasal congestion can trigger a headache or even a migraine; tension headaches from neck spasms can also masquerade as a 'sinus headache'.

Evaluation of your headache will include a workup to exclude the sinuses as the primary generator of your head pain. Visit your local ENT for evaluation and treatment.

Sinus pressure indicates blocked openings of the sinus cavities. This could result from swelling of the lining of the sinuses, which in turn is related to allergy or vasomotor changes caused by weather changes. Use of humidifiers and rinsing sinus with saline solution have helped many. There are many sinus washing devices that are available without prescription. If headache persists other causes of headache need to ruled out.

You need find out why you have the pressure. Could be infection or allergies? You can take over the counter medication with pain reliever and decongestants might help. Or Afrin nasal spray to get quicker relief. A visit to urgent care doe sinus evaluation might include ct of sinuses or other X-rays. Antibiotics may be needed? Long term problems see a local allergy specialist.
