"Sinus" headache?: I don't know where this popular myth of the "sinus" headache came from. I suspect it was invented by the makers of Dristan. 99% of people who think they have "sinus" headaches, don't, including, I'm pretty sure, you. Does "clean" scans mean normal sinuses? If so, you DON'T have sinus "issues." You should eliminate the "sinus" headache from your thinking unless a doctor tells you different.
