sinus problems related to hormones?

I've never really had terrible sinus problems but just in the last month or so I have and I'm 16 weeks but I keep reading how its because of swelling in your nasal passages and what not. Im not so much annoyed by the sinuses but the headaches its giving me. They last like two- three days and are HORRIBLE. I don't want to keep popping Tylenol sinus , do any of you lady's have a natural recommendation?

I'm 26 wks and have my 3rd sinus infection in just under 2 months. I've never had problems like this before pregnancy.  It's awful, but hopefully it will stop soon. Been using sudafed, saline spray and a cool mist humidifier. Guess it's one of the down sides of pregnanc, but just keep remembering that it's worth it in the end!!
