Migranes. and sinus?

Yes?: What is your question? Sinus issues can certainly cause headaches, not migraine headaches, but rather sinus headaches.

Clarification: Sinus "headaches" actually cause fairly localized facial pain over the area of the sinusitis, and occasionally radiate upwards, but other than rare ethmoid or sphenoid infections which seem over apex of skull, very different from migraine, which is hemicranial, throbbing, assoc with nausea/vomiting sensitivity to light and noise. Often migraine is called "sinus", a misnomer.
