Chronic daily headache: when to suspect sinus disease.
Migraine may be responsible for many headaches thought to be caused by the sinuses. Patients complaining of "sinus headache" must have a complete ear, nose, and throat examination. Occasionally, chronic headaches may arise from the sinuses; a thorough history is important to search for symptoms of facial pain and pressure along with other nasal sinus symptoms.
