9 in 10 Sinus Headaches Really Migraines

[Guest guest]

I hope this is not a duplicate of something sent because I can't keep up

with all of her articles. This report is amazing but I have no doubt it is true.

My sister was treated for years for 'sinus headaches' before an allergist

diagnosed the headaches as migraines. Now, I am a nurse and I was with her

through all the years of unsuccessful treatment of sinus headaches, etc.

However, it was 5 years later before I realized that I was also being treated

for sinus headaches which were really migraines. I am fortunate because I do not

get them as often as my sister which may be part of the reason it took so long

to recognize.

About thirty years ago, I was unsuccessfully treated for sinus headaches for a

four month stretch shortly after my Mom died. Toady I would bet that those were

actually migraines. Whenever I had a headache like that, I thought it was

another sinus headache. It sounds terrible that people could go 25 years with an

improper diagnosis but since the headaches come and go and sometimes I would go

a year without one - it is easy to see how it can take so many years to finally

get a proper diagnosis.

Please, don't ignore headaches. Too many doctors do not investigate the causes

for headaches. Headaches are often symptoms of serious but treatable conditions

- high blood pressure, cervical spine problems, infections, etc. Too many people

let doctors brush them off and wait for them to pass on their own. Pain is a

warning that something is wrong - listen to your body.

Many of you are probably having allergic reactions this time of year and really

do have sinus headaches. However, if the treatment is not helping, don't be

afraid to ask the doctor if it could be migraines.Also, it is a misconception

that only women get migraines - they can hit men as well.

Untreated Migraine Cause of Most 'Sinus Headaches'

By DeNoon

WebMD Medical News Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario, MD

on Thursday, June 10, 2004

June 10, 2004 -- Got a bad sinus headache? Odds are, it's really a migraine.

If your head hurts, does it really matter what you call it? Yes, says

headache specialist Eross, DO, associate consultant in neurology at the

Mayo

Clinic in sdale, Ariz.

People spend lots of money on over-the-counter " sinus headache " remedies. But

they get little relief, Eross says, until they get proper treatment for

migraine.

" The vast majority of people with self-diagnosed sinus headache have

migraine, " Eross tells WebMD. " These individuals often have a delay in getting a

correct diagnosis. On average, they waited 25 years. These are headaches

affecting

people in the prime of their lives. The vast majority had severe disability. "

Eross and colleagues advertised a free evaluation to people suffering from

" sinus headaches. " They signed up the first 100 people, and gave them a rigorous

1.5-hour evaluation. It turned out 90 of the 100 patients were really

suffering from migraines.

Eross presented the findings at this week's meeting of the American Headache

Society in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

What Is a Sinus Headache?

If you have an active sinus infection, your head hurts. Typical symptoms

include fever, swollen lymph nodes, and a green or yellow nasal discharge. But

most people who think they have sinus headaches don't have these symptoms --

just

pain high in their cheeks. They likely have migraines, Eross says.

What do sinus doctors think? It is a controversial issue, says Bradley

Marple, MD, chair of the rhinology and paranasal sinus committee of the American

Academy of Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS), and vice chair of

the department of otolaryngology at the University of Texas Southwest Medical

Center in Dallas.

" This is a really difficult and controversial area right now. It hasn't

completely been resolved, " Marple tells WebMD. " There are headaches caused by

sino-nasal disease. There is also a whole host of other types of headaches. It

is

difficult to clinically separate the two. But I think it's credible that if you

do thorough neurological exams on sinus headache patients, you may find a

number have other types of neurogenic headaches. "

There are many types of primary headaches officially recognized by the

International Headache Society. Sinus headache (without an infection) is not one

of

them. On the other hand, they do recognize headaches attributed to infections

as a cause of headaches.

But Eross says that one in 10 patients actually does seem to have what he

calls a NIRSH -- a non-infectious rhino-sinus headache.

Eross says that mild cases of NIRSH may be common. Since they're mild,

headache specialists rarely see them. And Marple says that patients suffering

disabling pain from these rhino-nasal headaches may get relief from surgery.

" In studies where researchers diligently ruled out migraine and cluster

headache and other neurogenic headaches -- that one out of nine patients in the

Eross study -- if you do surgery on them, there appears to be a real

improvement, " he says.

Getting the Right Help

If you are missing work or your child is absent from school because of a

sinus headache, you need professional help. But which professional you see makes

a

difference.

The 100 patients in the Eross study went to an average of four doctors each

-- and still went on suffering. Relatively few got to a headache specialist:

64% saw their family doctor, 59% saw an ear-nose-throat (ENT) specialist, 25%

saw an allergist, and only 19% saw a neurologist.

" Among folks who saw neurologists, 83% got a [correct] migraine diagnosis, "

Eross says. " Among those who saw ENTs, only 8.1% got a migraine diagnosis. Only

6.3% got a migraine diagnosis from an allergist. "

Most health plans require patients to see a general practitioner first. Eross

says it's important to ask for a referral to a headache specialist if you get

frequent or disabling headaches.

Eross ended up treating about half of the " sinus headache " patients in his

study.

" Most of them have dramatically improved with migraine management, " he says.

Thanks, Pat. That is very interesting and important information. I

didn't send the article before, and I hope you and other members will

feel free to post whatever medical research is of interest - duplicates

are AOK! Better to see it twice or more than never.

I have suffered from classic migraines - aura, severe headache, nausea

and vomiting, photophobia, and sonophobia - since early childhood. They

run in my family. When I was little, nobody really understood that what

I was having was a migraine (and my maternal grandparents were a doctor

and nurse), but as time marched on, it became obvious. After a few

years, I myself made the diagnosis and realized that my paternal

grandmother was referring to migraines when she said " sick headaches. "

You're right. Men can have them, too. I know three men who do, and both

of my sons have had infrequent episodes.

Here's an interesting tidbit about true rhinosinusitis:

In 1999, Mayo published a paper stating that there was strong evidence

that most cases of chronic rhinosinusitis were fungal, not bacterial, in

origin. Recently, they have patented a antifungal spray that they are

hoping will help those who have sinus infections. Antibiotics aren't

going to do a thing for a fungal infection!

So, the moral of the story is to 1) get the right diagnosis and then 2)

get the right treatment.

How true, Pat. I have a dear friend who was a stock broker with Merrill Lynch

who retired on a disability his migraines were so severe. He goes to a special

pain management clinic - if people have consistent problems it is well worth

looking into.

I seem to have headaches when the barometric pressure

behing the eyeball-no allergies that I can identify.

Is this a migraine afterall??

, there are so many causes and types of headaches, that it would

be difficult for me to guess. I would mention it to your physician on

your next visit.

Here's an excellent article:
