Sinus Headache when I get Stressed!!??

What's that all about? It's bad enough that every day my sinuses are either totally clogged up or my nose is running really bad. I already take Allegra every day for allergies, but it doesn't help my sinus problem. Lately something new has started. I've noticed that when I get stressed, my sinuses start to hurt really bad and I get a sinus headache. This is so irritating. I don't need this!

Sounds bad.. Maybe you need a check by a good doctor or nature therapist. I used to have sinusitis when I was younger, and that time I got help from homeopathic medicine. The latest 12 years or so, I have no more headache or other aches, as I found the way to get better. I have learned to drink more water and improved my diet to more raw food and added food supplements from gnld.com - I eat much less sugar these days and drink no sodas.. The info meetings from gnld have taught me how to take care of my body, so I am much healthier than many years ago.. I hope you find a way for better health too..

Good for you! I'm glad you are able to stay healthy. I don't drink enough water. I get kidney stones so I stopped drinking soda and tea. But I eat way too much sugar, and not enough fruits and vegetables. I don't like raw vegetables. I never had a raw vegetable in my life. I can eat cooked carrots and green beans. The only way I get my fruit is by mixing different fruits in the blender and making a smoothie. I don't like fruits by themselves. I'm very strange. I hate strawberries but if I mix strawberries with other fruits I can drink them. I should check out the website you mentioned. Thanks!

The most significant difference that immediately occurs to me is that during stress your blood pressure is likely to rise, which could be a contributory factor. If your blood pressure is normally high, then the increase during stress could be sufficient to cause headaches etcetera. Of course I am not a Doctor and this is just a layman's advice, so the best advice that I can offer is to consult a doctor. Hopefully it will be nothing important, but at least you will worry less if you know that for certain.

I think you need to have a check up on what causes the pain. you knew you had a sinus problem but then this is an entirely new symptom you are feeling. you need to be sure that it was just a headache. I do not want to scare you but i had known someone who had a cancer in the sinus, the earlier you have this checked, the better so you can rule out the issues you are feeling.

Well, when we are stressed, our immune system is affected. That makes us vulnerable to sickness and infections. And maybe your sinuses are getting the brunt of the stress and your weakened immune system.
