I went to my doctor because I was having pains in my head. I feel a click or a pop in the back of my head, sometimes on top of my head. And sometimes their just pains. I told him what was going on and asked him could it be my ears, they might be clogged up or something. He looked in them and said they are fine. So he said he would give me some samples of Zyrtec. I didnt know what it was for when he gave them to me. I got home a looked it up and it was allergy medication. I thought to myself what the hell I dont have allergies. At least I dont think. I am not allergic to anything I have came across in my life. So does anybody take Zyrtec and do you think I should start taking it? I dont think so.

Maybe the doctor thinks your symptoms are due to your sinuses...antihistimines will dry up your sinuses, and that might get rid of your problems.

So I'd say give it a try!

Well I went in to the doc for different reasons than you, I suspected hayfever maybe, and come to find out I am a year rounder and I have 4 different food allergies, on being soy which is in EVERYTHING!!!! I had never been allergic before in my life!! I take zyrtec and I take it at night cause it makes me sleepy. Other than that I have had no side effects and I feel so much better than I did but I have eliminated all of my food allergies too. I would give it a chance, but if you are really conserned I would call the doc back. But yeah allergies effect people differently!! I was having bad headaches and I got what I though was a cold frequently but it all turned out to be allergiy related!! Maybe he has a method to his madness. Question him....either that or he is a Quack!! (a little humor!!)

well sinus pain can often refer to the top or back of your head. It might be worth a try, especially if you have other allergy symptoms. If not, could you have a jaw problem? I think sometimes that causes a clicking sensation in the back of your head, rather than in the jaw itself.
