It was warm here last week, then it turned cold this weekend, then it started to warm up again and today it's been cold and rainy. And on top of that today I've had a headache off and on. So I'm just wondering if weather changes could, because normally it's allergies, but I know today it's not. Thanks, so much.

Weather changes can really increase my sinus problems and the pressure and tension headaches that go along with it.
I can generally predict the weather with my sinus problems and headaches (usually I am more accurate than the weather channel....I just don't get paid for it though)
I have found that taking a 24 hour allergy pill can help a lot, and then if the pressure changes cause a headache, I will take a dose of Excedrin Sinus to break the pain.
Drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated really helps the body to stay as clear and depressurized as possible. I try to get as much fresh air as possible, and will take short breaks from work to walk outside even for five or ten minutes can help.
Indoor air can add to the pressurized feeling, so the fresh air can really help.
The Center for Disease Control is saying that this is the worst allergy season in nearly forty years, so all of us who have allergies are going to have a tough time this year.

That definitely happens to me with the weather change! I would say to take a Sudafed and see if that helps you with your sinus problems. Feel better!

Changes in the temp. and humidity can trigger responses in your nasal cavities.. and pollen and allergens can be elevated during different days depending on the dryness of the air outside..There is a variety of atmospheric changes that can affect sinus problems. if they become bothersome then you need to consult your md.

Yes...it has more to do with the changes in pressure connected to the weather changes than the temperature.

Drives my sinuses crazy and I don't have allergies!
I use Aleve cold and sinus. One pill, works 12 hours, doesn't make you tired.
Good luck, here's some kleenex....
