Can pain on side of head be sinus related?

Not usually: Although sinusitis can cause facial pain, most headaches are not sinus related. The cause of your pain could be a simple headache or something more serious. Please see your doctor if you are concerned.

Migraine: It has been estimated that approximately 70% of migraine headaches overlie the sinuses and are triggered by changes in barometric pressure. These patients actually suffer from migraine but usually are diagnosed with sinus headache and use over-the counter vasoconstrictor agents for relief.
