Are these common symptoms for Sinus Trouble? - Sinus Problems Message Board

I know (think) my sinuses are bothering me chronically. I have had allergies all my life, but it seems like my sinuses are bothering me much worse than normal. My question is, are the following symptoms common for sinus trouble...

cloudy head/brain fog/dissassociation feeling/hard to concentrate and focus eyes

sharp pains that come and go on top and back of head

face feels full of pressure (more so on one side - although sides usually change)

pressure on top of head

pressure in back of head

(pressure feeling worsen if I bend forward)

tingly scalp

nose feels full of pressure but nothing is there

Any feedback would help ease my mind of this being something wrong neurologically (aneurysm, tumor, etc)

Thank!

Yes, that all sounds like sinus problems. One way that you could fingure it out is when you are sitting down, lean over and if it hurts, that is sinuses, however, it doesn't always have to hurt. Just for peace of mind, I would go to a Neurologist to rule out other reasons why you get such headaches and blurred vision. I will say, sinus problems are VERY hard to treat and get rid of and can make you absolutely MISERABLE!

I have awful sinuses and yes those are some of the symptoms. I also have expirenced dizziness and nausea. My advice would be to go to the doctor and tell him your symptoms just in case, but those are some of the symptoms. Best of luck!!!

When I lean forward, I do not hurt, but I feel a face full of pressure, alot of the times.

I also have many of the same symptoms. My ENT Dr. thinks it is sinuses and has scheduled a CT scan. I know how you feel especially the dizziness.

One thing I have that seems to be a bit different is ear pain/pressure and the feeling of clogged ears.

Do you have that at all?
