Why does my head hurt so much?
I have really bad allergies and I have been experiencing headaches from them for 2 months now. This is the first year that my allergies have been this bad and Flonase and Claritin barely do anything. I thought my headaches would start to go away by now, since it is June, but they haven’t. I have been experiencing headaches almost every day, as well as neck pain, sinus congestion, eye pain, dizziness and costochondritis from all of this. I have been to the doctor several times as well. First they gave me antibiotics for a sinus infection. They worked for a few days, but then the symptoms came right back. I went back and they said it was probably just allergies. My headaches got a little better a week ago, but then came right back again. I have been experiencing headaches all day and feel tight pressure all around my sinuses and head. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to try and help with my symptoms? I have an appointment with an ENT in a month or so and a follow up physician appointment. I have been told so far whole wheat locally sourced bread could help? I also thought about acupuncture. I am very worried because I hope these headaches aren’t something else more serious like a tumor, or that they don’t become chronic. I also hope I get a bit better soon. Thank you for reading🙏 peace and love

Mercedes: Has anyone ordered an MRI of your sinuses? You mentioned neck pain and pressure within your head, it might be a good idea to make sure sinus is the root cause of the pain. If your sinus MRI comes back within normal limits, then you might consider researching Occipital Neuralgia and Migraine symptoms to see if any of these match what is happening with you. I am so sorry you are going through this. Hang in there!! Kasey7
totally relate—botox helped me too but only for a couple months. i saw a write‑up on The Migraine Network about pairing botox with low‑dose naltrexone; curious if anyone here tried that combo? might be worth checking. hope you get longer relief soon!
