Hi!

 

Have you been diagnosed with Migraine disease? A lot of times, we think we have sinus problems when, in fact, it's a Migraine! See this article: Sinuses Giving You a Headache? It's Probably Migraine. If it is a Migraine, and you are treating it as a sinus headache, it's going to take you a lot longer to get relief.

 

If you don't yet have a Migraine diagnosis, you need to call your doctor and find out. There are medications called Triptans that can help you when you have a Migraine attack. But you cannot get them without a Migraine diagnosis.

 

See if any of these links sound like you:

Good Luck!
