I get sinus headaches too. Mine are caused by artificial fragrances. I pretty much live a fragrance free life -- or as much of my surroundings as I can control anyway. Before bedtime I spray a saline nasal spray to open up my sinuses so I can breathe easier as I'm asleep. The bottle says it has Oxymetazoline HCI 0.05%. It's like $1.89 per bottle in the Walmart brand.
Sometimes it takes a combo of solutions. The Flonase chemicals aren’t great for the body but do help. We do a steroid nasal spray also since I get bad allergies.
I get allergic sinus migraines.
Tried the good Sudafed for a while--the kind you need to show your ID for. Didn't really help.
Eventually I realized that turmeric is used in spicy food, so I took some turmeric curcumin my parents had on hand--and it worked!
Ordered a bottle of the supplement online immediately, and now I take it every day. Doesn't prevent every headache, but it does stop over 90% of them.
So the problem wasn't mucus, it was inflammation blocking said mucus.

Surprisingly a simple saline nasal spray works amazingly for sinus headaches.
I tried that. Didn't help either.
However, fluticasone propionate (Flonase) seems to, which is why I always keep some of that around as well.
Probably because it's a corticosteroid.

I figured it wasn't a perfect solution, but what's the bad stuff Flonase does to you?
