Depending on the time of year you experience this, I would say it IS allergies due to pollen.  And if it occurs all year, then you might also be allergic to dust, etc.  Best thing to do, buy some Claritin D to begin with, and take it.  I know it makes you dizzy, but your body will eventually get used to the medication and that should subside.  See if it works, and if not, find a different doctor and make an appointment and go see him.  It might be something different.  Hope this helps!

You need to check your filter in the air intake of your air system, if it hasn't been changed recently you need to change it there only a couple of bucks their are more expensive ones. Take out the one you have take it with you to the hardwares store. You might have allergies. They are pretty common during the spring time. Don't sleep with your windows open. Pollen could play a big part in your swelling and irritation if you live in an area that has budding trees or flowers. Use eye drops that are hydrating drops. Put a humidifier in your room if the air is dry. Change your pillow cases at least a couple times a week and air out your pillows. If symptoms persist I would recommend that you see a doctor. You could have a sinus infection and may need antibiotics.

Have you been checked for a sinus infection?\n\nSinus infection, or sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. A sinus infection can cause a headache or pressure in the eyes, nose, cheek area, or on one side of the head\nHome care can help open the sinuses and alleviate their dryness. \n\n\n\nPromote drainage \n\n\nDrink plenty of water and hydrating beverages. Hot tea is often recommended. \n\n\nInhale steam 2-4 times per day by leaning over a bowl of boiling hot water (not while the water is on the stove) or using a steam vaporizer with a towel over the head and bowl to prevent the escape of the steam. Inhale the steam for about 10 minutes. Taking a hot, steamy shower may also work. Mentholated preparations, such as Vicks Vapo-Rub, can be added to the water or vaporizer to aid in opening the passageways. \n\n\nThin the mucus: Expectorants are drugs that help to expel mucus from the lungs and respiratory passages. They help to thin mucous secretions, enhancing drainage from the sinuses. The most common is guaifenesin (contained in Robitussin, for example). Over-the-counter (OTC) liquid cough medications or prescription tablets can also combine decongestants and cough suppressants to reduce symptoms as well as to eliminate the need for the use of many medications. Read label ingredients to find the right combination of ingredients or ask the pharmacist for help. \n\n\nRelieve pain: Pain medication such as ibuprofen (Motrin and Advil are examples), aspirin, and acetaminophen (Tylenol is in this category) can reduce pain and inflammation. These medications help to open the airways by reducing swelling.

Could be sinus or allergies or blood pressure problems

I get them too. I did the generic claritin. Trick is, for the first week take 2 a day. one in the morning when you get up, the other before you go to bed. At the start of the second week, go down to just one a day, BUT take it at the same time each day.  In addition, might try a nasal spray, allergy eye drops,   and a air purifier for your bedroom.  You can find them fairly cheap at Target or Big Lots.

amoxicllin makes me feel worse than being sick.  is it a sinus infection? they are the worst.  just wait til you feel up to running.  and be prepared to stop quickly if you feel like it too.  no need to push it that much.

What symptoms do you have?  If your nose is running all the time, try some antihistimes, if stuffed, decongestants.  If you have green or yellow discharge you need an antibiotic, call the dr definitely.\n\nIf it's allergy or just weather sinus, you can try different things.  Zicam is a natural zinc product you can get in Walmart or drug stores that helps open up and keep open sinus passages.  Cold-eeze brand zinc is good too.  Silver water is very good along with saline sprays to prevent stuffiness and keep sinus infections at bay.  Products like Vicks, that have menthol, even the cough drops are good for the nose and throat as well.  Robitussin makes a great light menthol orange vitamin C cough drop that give you your daily dose and helps sinus too.  I use those.  For eyedrops, if your eyes bother you with sinus too, try the "tears" formula's, because those help moisturize the eyes and flush out pollens.  Air filters help too especially if they have hepa filters, so do air conditioners.  If it's allergy related, you can also keep your mattress covered in plastic and use special hypoallergenic pillow cases.  Wash all bedding in hot water, take a shower before bed as that washes off pollens.  Also, vacuum you mattress, you'd be surprized at all the dirt and dust that comes out, do that before you seal it.  Good luck!\n\nPS I forgot, you can get a netti pot or nebulizer to use to flush the sinus cavities, netti pots cost about $8.00, Walmart and drug stores sell them.  Nebulizers cost more about $30.00, I use silver water in mine.

i suffer from sinus headaches, the best thing is to see a doctor,

It sounds like the problem could be sinus-your maxillary sinuses to be exact(below your eye).  Its uncommon but possible to only have 1 sided sinus pressure. Ive examined many patients with sinus congestion and they describe the same pressure,"face falling off when they lean forward" symptoms. Possibly an ENT-(ear nose and throat  dr)would be a good start-they deal with cranial/sinus disorders. At least a specialist like that instead of a primary might have more insight  :)

My husband has alot of sinus trouble / sinus headaches\nHe takes Benadryl (Green box, green pill)  Don't get the green\nbox with the blue pills (not as good).  When my sinus's act up\nand cause a headache I even take one or two.  I usually wake up the next day 100% better.

hot tea with honey or sugar.\n\nchloreseptic losenges.\n\nsinus pills - if they knock you out take them at night - also try allergy pills to dry out sinuses - the post nasel drip may be causing it\n\nzinc losenges (only 1-2 a day or they upset the tummy)\n\ncheck with your dr if it gets worse.

I have bad allergies and often have this problem. I have tried almost everything there is out there and what works best is taking Benedryl at night because it makes you very drowsy (it will dry up your sinuses) and those breathe right nasal strips. They really work and help to relieve your sinus pressure. Also, Shower Soothers--they are those tabs that you put on the floor of your shower and they open up your sinuses. Good luck!

Get this stuff at the health food store called Quercetin. It is a sinus soother and a bioflavanoid. It is better for you than anything OTC. Trust me, I used to be allergic to everything and was on 11 different pills. Cut them all cold turkey and started taking Quercetin on the advice of a physician. Now I am healthy :)

If it gets to the point where your daily activities are impossible to do, see your doctor for the underlying cause.\n\nIf it's still manageable, it may be due to the rather drastic change in the weather in many parts of the U.S., from warm to cool to cold in  a matter of weeks.\n\nI know the weather is what triggers my mother's headaches, especially right now like you have them.\n\nBenadryl, Advil, or other popular allergy and/or sinus inflammation OTC drugs will take the edge of them so you can think a little bit clearer during the day and usually will help people sleep at night if taken before bedtime.\n\nIf these have no effect, it may be that your headaches are actually a symptom of a more serious health problem you have, so you should just go to your doctor for a general checkup, and try to avoid getting on a medication routine if at all possible.

Ever tried ear candling (find them at the health food store)?  Sinus lavage (warm salt water through sinuses) and sinus massage (warm compress over face followed by rubbing over sinus passages)?  Drinking extra water and something like Mucinex to thin secretions (which helps prevent mucus from getting stuck and creating a ripe infection atmosphere)?\nI have terrible allergies and a tendancy towards sinus/throat/ear infections.  These things have helped me tremendously, along with taking claritan d and mucinex every day.
