Question:
Does anyone know of any tried-and-true methods to relieve sinus pressure?? I've got a horrid MIGRAINE that I've had since yesterday afternoon and, for the first time, I can't get rid of & it hurts sooo bad!! It's mostly sinus (in forehead & behind eyes) but feels like it may partially be tension too cause I have aching in my neck!! I've taken various different headache meds (excedrin tension headache, sudafed sinus headache [which usually works], etc), tried blowing my nose & tried this method of mine while sleeping that sorta presses on my eyes & forehead to relieve pressure but it's not working this time when it usually does! It's 4 am & I live with roommates so I can't go digging around for an ice pack or even a heating pad to help either cause I'd wake them up. (I don't even know WHERE we would keep a heating pad in the first place IF we even had one!)
Can someone help me??

brigit has a good idea. if not that, get a towel and wet it with very warm water (not enought to burn) and wrap it around your face (like the old barbers used to do). are your sinuses super clear or stopped up? i get sinus migraines often and a steamy bath works sometimes. sometimes i wear a dust mask when i sleep to keep my sinuses moist
try going in the bathroom and stuff a towel under the door and turn the hot water on full blast in the shower. Stay put and let the humidity build up for awhile. Breath deep!! or try to at least. massage your forehead, cheeks, behind your ears, and down the sides of your neck.
oh dear Im so sorry for u.Im also having sinus.try to do yoga for sinus just for 10minutes.the migrane will go off.we hv to keep tha heating pad in fridge and heat it with warm water.
