One may mistake sinus headache for migraine or vice-versa. In fact, a recent study comprising 100 people believed to be suffering from sinus headache, actually were proved to have some form of migraine, according to the information from the Scottsdale Headache Center at Arizona Neurological Institute.
Less than half of migraine patients get a proper diagnosis, and among the top erroneous conclusions, sinus headache is right at the top of the list. Pain relieving drugs or OTC sinus headache medicines may do little to treat migraine. In fact, taking sinus headache medicines to treat migraine headache may lead to pain reliever abuse, rebound headache and even sinus surgery and CAT scans.
The similarity between a sinus headache and migraine is that both are triggered b weather and allergens. Both types of headache can lead to watery eyes, runny nose and pain in parts of the face. However, the best way to differentiate a migraine from sinus headache is this: it is migraine if your headache has at least two of these symptoms: one sided pain, throbbing ache, moderate to severe pain and if this pain gets worse with moderate to physical activity.
A migraine can also lead to nausea or sensitivity to light or sound. The sinus headache can also include fever, green mucus and bad breath. You should find out what your triggers for migraine are, and avoid them. You can also check with your doctor about migraine triptans (tryptamine-based drugs used for migraine headache treatment) and such other drugs. Also read more about Migraine Headache treatment.
