Would assume original headache within aircraft was triggered by acute sinusitis, and you may well have chronic sinus issues which should be treated. See otolaryngologist and get this addressed. If this does not break up pattern, see neurologist, as then must consider migraine, or jaw issues (TMJ), as a possibility.
