Sinus headache is chronic...related to GERD & hernia ? Posted: 05-16-07 13:33pm
ive had this sinus headache for about four
years. 3 ct scans, septoplasty, allergy
tests to confirm what i already knew and
now they want to do a turbinate laser
deal. seems like its just gettting worse
and worse. i wake up with sinus pressure
and headache at 4 am each morning, then i
try to go back to sleep with little luck.
im popping sudafed and advil clarinex and
nasonex every day. i also have really bad
gerd with a hiatal hernia that i take
protonix for daily, i cant help but think
that my headache is related to stomach
contents going back in my head each night.
ive brought this up to my ent and the gi
doc but they dont believe it. it seems
like im in a tug of war with doctors. im
unemployed miseralbe and pretty much out
of money to throw at this thing. soon ill
be under the freeway with a headache. im
not joking!!!!!..............i dont know
what to do

I'm sorry that you haven't gotten any
answers from your doctor yet. I assume
that you have been tested for allergies.
Does the medicine you take during the day
help with your symptoms at all?

Try eliminating all dairy from your diet
for 6 to 8 weeks and see if symptoms
remit. Many times that is all it takes!
Good luck and God bless!

man, i completely understand you, medicine
in north america really slow. doctors have
a lack of practise and it seems you ask
them what to do, because they don't give
you a proper remedie. I saw one of the
many ent in toronto, i've known already i
have a sinus trouble set by physician with
a good russian background, and he sent me
to airflow(waste of time, i did it before
and it was normal lol) i asked him to do
scan of sinuse just in case, what you
think he did? he said im a doctor, i know
what to do, take a spray and try
it(nasonex=50 bucks) but he gave it for
free. anyway it didnt help and i've known
it didnt, tried that before. I had
turbinate removal with dr. Height and it
sucked, nothing, same even worse pressure
on a right side with problem to breath
well. What can i add, i did mri which
shown i'm clear. well, this feeling is
terrible especially when you overloaded
and tired.
You have a sinus trouble, you should wash
out you sinuses and find the doctor who
can do it, who can fix your spetum, who
knows what to do, and it's a trouble, i
live in toronto, canada, and found in a
present time one well-referenced
specialist as people say, his name is
Solomon, my physician told me he is one of
the best in North america, but waiting
list is too long. my friend had same
problem, broken nose last year, andhe
found this doctor earlier than me, that
doctor washed his sinuses using needle and
did good septum recovery, and my friend is
happy now. when i reach him, i share my
experience. And in addition, broken nose
is a very serious condition, so be
careful. If i went to doctor next day i
broke it, my trouble didnt grow so much,
but what confuses is lack of good
specialists even with a experience, very
sad
