Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I recently found out that I have chronic sinusitis. However recently my veins around my entire head have been pulsating severely, to the point where there is a feeling of temporary numbness.

Hi,

I would like to know some details about your problem :

  3. If yes then since when you started to have headaches?

  4. You feel a headache in which areas of the head?

  5. Does it happen on one side at one time? Or both sides?

  7. How long time one episode of headache lasts (from onset to complete relief without medication).

  8. How frequent are headache episodes?

  9. Do you feel any vomiting or feeling of vomiting, redness in eye, watering from eye, or nasal congestion during headache?
