I don't feel like I'm in my head properly and the back of my head above my neck feels weird like its partly gone?? A few days ago I was trying to lost my head up more than usual to drain the mucus and then the next day I felt like I struggled to lift my head up and now I think something's happened?? I've been trying to get rid of the infection with vinegar, tumeric, salt water, lemon, hot steam and sleep sad

It is making me feel so weird. I feel extremely anxious and depressed. Could I have lost part of the back of my head??

    I think you should go see your Doctor to put your mind at rest. One of the best things to do with a sinus problem is to drink plenty of fluids (water preferably) it thins out the mucus. Stress will make it worse, so see your GP

    Hi Me, I know how you feel. Do you have so much congestion that it's hurting your head? Sinus Infections SUCK. I boil water in the morning and breath in the steam sometimes that helps. Nasal drops for moisture . I went to a Nurologist for my headaches because they turned in to migrains. He put me on Nortriptyline. Then Topiramate. Then I got a sinus infection. My surgery is the end of the month. I just hope your pain goes away .Good luck

      A few times I've had absolutely horrible headaches but right now my forehead just feels puffy and completely congested. Do you feel weird mentally too? I don't feel like myself, and it's made me very depressed and anxious but when I get some relief, I feel immediately better

      Hi, I hear ya. I bought vicks vapor rub. Your going to think I am crazy? It can go on your chest your neck . What I did was put a wash cloth with a little vapor rub on it and rubbed it on the front of my head. Well , the pain went away and I could breath better from the congestion. I'm just trying to help any way I can . For bad headaches you might want to visit a Nurologist so he or she can subscribe pain meds for the head. I don't know if you had a brain scan or a MRI of the sinues? Please let me know if you did ? Jeannie

      No I haven't had any scan. I don't have any Vicks to use. It just feels so stuck behind my face, I can hear it making a dry creaking sound all the time

    Hi, You should call your primary doctor then he or she will send you to the right doctor. It seems like you have a sinus infection. Do you have a lot of congestion that is hurting your head? I might be wrong but with what your telling me it sounds like that. I just hope you just make a appointment for a ent or a Nurologist that deals with head. Let me know if you did. Please Jeannie

      Doesn't always hurt but it's just felt like I couldn't think properly, really scary. Is ENT a brain scan? I don't know if I trust scans on my head, I've never had one before
