Why does my head hurt so much?

Posted by mercedes713 @mercedes713, Jun 2 8:50pm

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

Hey There! I can honestly say, this has been the worst spring I have ever had for allergies. I was sick for 5 weeks
with sinusitis, chronic terrible sinus headaches/migraines, ashtmatic bronchitis and allergic rhinitis. The tree & grass pollens have been extremely heavy this year.

I still can't go outside even for 15 minutes that I don't have issues still. Oak & Grass Pollens still. Go to Pollen.com and log in in your zip code and it will give you the pollen count in your area. It seems oak pollen is still high here.

I use Flonase & Astepro in the morning and then 2.5 ml of Chidren's zyrtec. This seems to help. I drink lots of
water to help thin the mucous. I take Vitamin D3+K2, Vitamin C, Vitamin B2 & I get B12 injections for my
immune system. Please ask your doctor before trying these.

Try a teaspoon of local honey as this helps some people with allergies I have been told.

Try and get off sugar as this increases and aggravates inflammation.

Praying for you as I know how miserable this is. Blessings...
