    Hi CK.  My headaches and dizziness have been bad the last couple weeks too.  They have not manifested into a migraine, but dull and constant.  A lot of head and sinus pressure pressure too.  The weather has been so rainy and muggy, which affects me too.  I have been using this hot/cold  eye mask.  I put in microwave and it’s nice for a few minutes. 😊

      YES YES...  I get sinus headaches I believe due to the weather.  And sometimes other people get  them too.  I use nose spray and sinus pressure meds with alternating IB Pr..... and then it slowly goes away.  My doctor recently told me that as we age, we tend to develop allergies.

    Hi carol I suffer with migraine and did long before the change started. I have found that the weather has been a contributing factor ; the stuffiness. Perhaps get your eyes tested xx

    hi carol,

    I have had one off and on for about a week now. it's on the right side of my head above the eye and moves to the center of my forehead. I also have major pressure in my cheeks so I know its sinuses but it doesn't make it hurt any less. I have also had bouts of fever, cold flashes followed by hot flashes. last night I woke up soaking wet, today I feel ok so far, just exhausted. dr appt on Thursday for sinus infection because I'm certain that's what it is. good luck hun and I hope you feel better soon!🙂

      Hi Susane, I too have continually sufferered from horrible sinus headaches, do you get the cold shivers all through the day and a tingling face and pulling eyes so I was having so many I had my eyes tested again and the optition said maybe it’s my posture so I’ve been seeing a chiropractor for about 3 months now and he has helped me a lot but he’s not a miracle worker and I still get some but not daily. Hope we all feel better soon x🤗

      hi anxious,

      I have just recently started to experience being really cold throughout the day, sometimes with fever. I have had pulling sensations in my eyes but not the tingling. my sight has gotten worse over the last couple of years also. I dont always have the headache with these symptoms though. do you feel like your skin is sunburned but is cool to the touch? that started with the cold flashes for me. hugs to you!

    Hi carol I have had a dull sensitive headache it’s as if someone has pulled my hair , it’s so debilitating as it’s always there and won’t shift. Must be near 4 weeks now . I feel like I have walked into something it even hurts to touch my hair/scalp. Blaming menopause as had this before last year and it eventually went 💕

    Yes, and it is allergies and stuffiness. The only thing that helps is hot shower, hot compresses, saline spray, and accupressure to relieve the phlegm. Check what your allergies are and youll know when your headaches will come.
