Accepted Answer

Rinse & deconestant: I recommended starting saline rinse of the sinuses through your nose (netti pot from neil med or ocean spray) as well as using decongestants containing guaifenecin, an antihistamine and Pseudoephedrine (unless you have high blood pressure, heart issues, anxiety or another contraindication to the meds) for a few days, if not better, then see a doctor for eval and anti-biotics.

Question 6

can sinus pressure cause strobe light flashes in your eyes?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Sinus pressure and infection can cause a pressure sensation behind the eyes (and rarely orbital infection), but it should not cause visual symptoms. "strobe light flashes" are more likely a retinal or optic nerve symptom, or possibly a migraine symptom. People with symptom of flashing should have an eye exam to rule out retinal problems.
