Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic staffSinus headache symptoms may include:
- Pain, pressure, and fullness in your cheeks, brow or forehead
- Pain may worsen when you bend forward or lie down
- Yellow-green or blood-tinged nasal discharge
- Sore throat
- Fever
- Cough
- Fatigue
So what's the confusion with migraines? The signs and symptoms of the two types of headaches often overlap. Migraine pain often gets worse when you bend forward, and migraines can be accompanied by various nasal signs and symptoms — including congestion, facial pressure and a clear, watery nasal discharge.
Sinus headaches, however, usually aren't associated with nausea or vomiting, or aggravated by noise or bright light — all common features of migraines.
