Just was diagnosed with sinusitis. was told this could be the cause of my eye pain and headaches. is this true?

Yes: Headaches, periorbital pain can be signs of sinusitis

You betcha!: These are common symptoms of sinusitis. Follow your doctor's instructions, take all the meds & follow-up. If your symptoms don't improve, further evaluation is in order. Know though, that sinusitis can be tough to treat & may require 2 or so courses of antibiotics. Also avoid environmental irritants to the respiratory tract which prolong and/or complicate treatment: no fragrances, aerosols

Yes: The sinuses are very close to the eye sockets and on the front of the head. Eye pain and headaches are common symptoms. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
