Migraines

Question:

I went to the doctor the other day with a migraine headache. He stated that my sinus infection triggered the migraine.  I had never heard of this before. Can someone enlighten me how this can happen??  Thanks! — Ann Dodge Seneca Newfoundlands http://www.dreamscape.com/anndodge http://home.twcny.rr.com/dodgeit/GRNC/ anndo…@dreamscape.com ICQ 2198829 ne…@twcny.rr.com

Response:

I don’t know how or why it happens, but sinus infections/headaches are common trigger for my migraines!  I’ve heard others complain of this too, so it must not be too uncommon!  You may want to check into the migraine newsgroup – maybe someone there might have some information on causes of this!
