sinus headache
Congestion causes pain
A sinus headache is head pain caused by inflammation or congestion in the sinuses—the air-filled cavities behind the forehead, cheeks, and eyes.
The pain typically worsens when bending forward and may accompany a cold or allergies: I thought it was a migraine, but turning out to be a sinus headache.
