    Can a sinus infection cause a tension headache?

    Dr. Himabindu Sreenivasulu

    MBBS · 1 years of exp

    Yes, a sinus infection can cause a tension headache. A sinus infection is an inflammation of the nasal passages that can cause congestion, pressure, and pain in the head and face. When the sinuses become inflamed, they can produce excess mucus, which can lead to a buildup of pressure in the sinus cavities. This pressure can cause a headache that is often described as a dull, achy pain that is felt in the forehead, temples, or back of the head. This type of headache is commonly referred to as a tension headache. Tension headaches can also be caused by stress, poor posture, or eye strain, among other factors.

    Dr. Rinta M Babu

    The permanent solution for recurrent sinusitis is surgery. This may include endoscopic sinus reconstruction. However to prevent further inflammation/ infection, which is due to recurrent allergic attacks, one should avoid such situations.

    Can a migraine be located at the front of your brain, similar to a bad sinus headache?

    Dr. Howard E. LeWine

    M.D. Chief Medical Editor, Harvard Health Publishing · 40 years of exp

    People often think they have a sinus headache when the pain is just in the front of the head. But most often the pain is due to migraine or tension headache. With a sinus infection there would usually be other symptoms such as tenderness over one of the sinuses above or below the eyes, a thick nasal discharge or post nasal drip, and fever.
