Can sinuses do this?

Last week I was having headaches on and off in the forehead area and the back of my head and some neck and back pain for 2 days, my right eye had central blurred vision now my ears are hurting and draining, itchy and have pressure in them my right eye is still blurry when I look far away alittle and is watery and I am having headaches behind my eye and my forehead.both of my eyes were very sensitive to light last week but the right one wasn't and isn't blurry like the left and I can see far away with my right. any idea what this could be? Thank you if you can help me!

Ok well here are some over-the-counter tips you can try for the migraines.

1. There are several symptoms of migraines and what causes the pain of a migraine is the blood vessels in your brain become dilated. So, sometimes it helps it you put a bit of pressure on your head. I am sure you have already been doing this unconsciously with your hands from time to time. So, get a bandanna or a cloth headband and wrap it snugly around your head.
2. If you rub Mentholatum across your forehead and on your temples that helps relax those tense muscles. You can do this with or without the wrap, depending on if you like the heat or not.
3. Try either a cold or hot pack, whichever is more comfy to you.
4. The best OTC meds that I have found that works is Excedrin. It is a combo of Aspirin, Tylenol and Caffeine and that happens to be an excellent combo for migraines.
5. I mentioned caffeine before...well, drink coffee, Mt Dew, take Vivirin...sometimes a mega dose of caffeine will stop it in its tracks.
6. If you get nauseous or dizzy get some Meclizine from the pharmacy (the stuff behind the counter) you can take 25mg three times a day as needed. Yes it works on both.

Hi and welcome to the Migraines & Headaches Community.

Sounds like sinus/allergies and a migraine combined and you are going to have to treat both.

Do you have migraines a lot? Or is this one of your first?
