Bad Headaches please help

[KatelynS]

Hi there, I need help with my headaches. I get these weird headaches everyday for 3-15 days. What will happen is I will wake up (or be woken up by the headache) and start my day and I will get a gradual onset of these headaches. Its weird because they are always a bit different but always the same. Somedays it will only be on one side of my head others on both. Its like a pressure pain always constant can increase in pain. Its all areas of my head and in my neck. When I bend over or sneeze or cough the pain gets worse. They always come at the same time every say at 12:00 or so and leave at the same time around 10:00 no matter what I do or eat or don't eat. It is not a migraine, I don't have any migraine symptoms except the pain, I do not get nauseous. It can get so painful that I can't go on with my day, & I've had cluster headaches so I know what pain is. These are different than my cluster headaches. The mysterious thing is with this headache I always get this almost like release of pressure or liquid or something that makes this crackling noise in the area behind my nose or sometimes in areas around my head. Can someone please help me?! I've been getting these for about 5 years and I have gotten to my breaking point. My family doctor does nothing, she is referring me to the headache clinic but doesn't know when I will get in.
Thank you so much,
Kate

I got the impression it is from sinus congestion and pressure too.

I presume that your doctor has checked out your blood pressure and this is normal?  Raised blood pressure can cause pressure headaches too.

If it is because of congestion, but there is no infection, you can purchase or get a doctor's prescription for a nasal spray, this will help to relieve the congestion and relieve the pressure.  

You can also do steam inhalations with Vick or Olbas oil to help relieve the congestion.  Get a bowl of hot water and put in a small amount of your preferred oil, place a towel over your head and the bowl and breathe in the steam. Take care not to get scalded.

You could also try antihistamines, if you feel this is caused by an allergy.

Best wishes.

I think it is sinus pressure.  Try Afrin, but just one treatment and then stop for a few days.  Check for food allergies.  When I found out my food allergies and stopped eating those foods, I stopped having trouble with my sinuses.  You could use a Neti pot.
