A member asked:
I am unable to know whether my daily headaches are due to migraine or sinusitis.

Sinus headache: First, you need to figure out the real cause of your headache pain. It has been estimated that approximately 70% of migraine headaches overlie the sinuses and are triggered by changes in barometric pressure (e.g. diving). Rec.: see your orofacial pain or headache specialist for evaluation.
