The differences between suffering a migraine and suffering from sinus problems may seem to be minute, to the point that its very difficult to tell which is which and what you are actually suffering from. In actuality there are a number of clear pointers which make it fairly obvious on the whole if its a migraine or if its sinuses. Lets have a look now at which is which.
The term for this sort of event is "prodromata". It occurs when the blood vessels constrict and then suddenly come open which causes leakage through the walls of the blood vessels. It brings about a throbbing sensation and is the cause of the headache. It most often is worse than a tension headache and most people find that lying down with a cold compress applied to the head is the best form of remedy. The compress will help to constrict the blood vessels that are swollen. Migraines are very variable in nature. For example, with the onset of pregnancy or menopause they can become worse or indeed stop all together.
Most sinus pains are caused by the failure of the nasal cilia - very small hairs - in removing toxins and bacteria. One way to remedy this scenario is with hydro pulse nasal/sinus irrigation which helps to restore the movement of the cilia. This action is also therapeutic and relaxing. Recurring sinus headaches are caused due to inflammation remaining within the sinal cavity. A sufferer may well have taken the correct antibiotics but because the cilia are not able to remove the toxins and bacteria another infection occurs. With pulsatile irrigation this problem does not happen. There is no further need for antibiotics when the bacteria are greatly reduced in the sinuses and nose.
Many or even most sinus pains are down to a failure of cilia in the nasal cavities. These cilia are very small hairs that line the walls of the nose and remove toxins and bacteria. Re-occuring sinus headaches are due to the sinal cavities remaining inflamed. It may well be that the sufferer has taken the correct antibiotics and these have worked well but the toxins and bacteria in the nasal cavities are still there and thus cause further infection. If pulsatile irrigation is undertaken then this problem no longer persists. In which case there is no requirement for continuous antibiotics.
Sinuses may be blocked due to a vacuum which causes pain and discomfort. There are a number of anti-inflammatory products on the market however that do work well in this case. Prednisone and Aleve are two of those. There are other products such as Clear-Ease that acts as a lozenge and will melt when sucked in the mouth. This product contains papain and bromelain and it helps to ease any vacuum in the sinus area.
Other sinus pains can be confused with those of migraine. The nasal septum which commonly becomes crooked and presses on the nerve is one such example. The sinus can become blocked thus causing a vacuum. The nose may not be congested and any xrays will not show anything unusual with this sort of sinus problem. - 32503
