[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my case, I thought it was a sinus headache or sinus infection and my ENT diagnosed it as a tension headache and gave me prednisone  or some steroid and that eased it off. It was bad. I did not think I could go on with the unrelenting headache! Thankfully has not returned in that magnitude. [/quote]

I had an intermittent headache like this and it was a sphenoid sinus infection. I did end up at the ER bc I was worried it was an aneurysm or stroke, and the MRI showed severe sinusitis. I did antibiotics and steroids, but eventually did get sinus surgery. Headaches can we many things but it's worth mentioning to the doctor esp if you've had a cold before the headaches started.[/quote]

PP, did you have a cold before your diagnosis?[/quote]

Yes, but the headache started a few days after the cold symptoms let up. I have a kindergartner so my ENT thinks it was exacerbated by having had many many colds over the past few years from all the germs he brings home. My sinus CT scan before surgery showed a lot of sinus issues as well.[/quote]
