Many people report sinus headache symptoms to their doctors or may self diagnose for sinus symptoms when there is no sinus headache at all. The patient may be diagnosed for the sinus headache while the symptoms might be pointing to migraine headaches instead.

A migraine attack may totally paralyze, and stop everything you are doing. The classic migraine is stamped by sudden severe headaches attack which then recedes soon. The cause for this type of attack is still unknown.
The medication needed to relive migraine strong. Also taking rest in quiet and dark ambience really helps. Light and sound can aggravate the migraine.

The level of Serotonin in the blood and the occurrence of severe headaches are closely related. This chemical usually acts on the blood vessels directing to the brain. They increase or decrease the vessel side depending upon the actual level of Serotonin circulating in the blood. A severe headache attacks when the level of Serotonin deviates on the normal levels.

It would be beneficial for the diagnosis if you are able to make a report of the frequency with which the headaches attack and also the other symptoms associated with it like fever, body ache, double vision, etc.
Self medication is not advisable in migraine. The problem may not just be a headache but something more serious. It is always advisable to track your headache for a month or few and consult a doctor for suitable treatment.
Severe headache is instigated by various factors and not always the reason underlying may be fatal, but an early awareness, diagnosis and proper treatment can aver the existence of one, and help you save from an ungratifying tragedy.

The Symptoms

Most symptoms of the sinus headache may be same as that of other headaches, pain in the head, and facial pain around the eyes, nose and the forehead. However the difference between the two is whether your sinus symptoms are from headache or from an infection. The sinus headache implies a sinus infection, whereas migraine means there’s something going on outside of the sinuses causing the migraine.

Why Differentiate the Two?

The two headaches need an altogether different treatment. In order to cure the symptoms of a sinus headache, the infection must be taken care of, whereas curing a migraine headache involves regulating hormone levels or relieving tension. Sinus headache medications treat the infection while relieving some of the pain; migraine medications target hormones and other balances in your body.

Very few of those who have sinus headache symptoms actually suffer from the sinus headache. Most of them actually suffer from migraine headaches, yet still treat them with sinus headache medication, which doesn’t work so well in most cases. It is utterly important before starting any treatment, to get a proper diagnosis so that you know exactly what you should be treating.
