Nose And Eye Sensitivity
Some people are more sensitive to smells, and others are more sensitive to light. For example, it is not uncommon for people with migraines to be more sensitive to smells and light than those without the condition.
A migraine can cause a person’s nose to become congested and experience a runny nose. Additionally, some people report that they can smell scents more intensely when migraines.
Similarly, many people with migraines say that they are more sensitive to light when they have a migraine. This may be because, during a migraine, the blood vessels in the eyes expand. Again, this can make a person feel more lightheaded and sensitive to light.
Nausea and Vomiting:
The most common migraine symptoms are headaches. However, not everyone experiences a headache when they have a migraine. For some people, the worst sign is nausea and vomiting. These symptoms often occur at the start of or during a migraine attack. It may be that chemicals cause them in the brain called neurotransmitters.
Indeed, many medications used to treat migraines work by blocking these neurotransmitters from activating in the brain. Other causes include changes in blood flow within the brain, sensitivity to light or sounds, or possibly abnormalities in how your body works with hormones that are triggered during different phases of your menstrual cycle.
Cold hands and feet:
A person’s hands and feet can feel cold when migraines. This is due to some factors, including changes in blood flow that can occur during a migraine attack. Additionally, migraines may feel harder than usual because they are more sensitive to light and smells.
Fatigue:
Migraines can cause fatigue for many reasons. Firstly, if you are experiencing nausea and vomiting, this can make you feel tired. Secondly, the pain from a migraine can make it difficult to sleep or rest. Finally, many migraines report feeling more tired than usual during an attack. This may be because the migraine interferes with how the body produces energy.
Mood changes:
Migraines can have a significant impact on a person’s mood. For example, some people feel irritable and short-tempered during an attack, while others feel depressed. It is not clear why these mood changes occur, but they are common in people with migraines.
sinus eye pain:
Sinus eye pain is a common type of headache caused by inflammation or infection in the sinuses. The pain can be located in the forehead, around the eyes, or in the temples. It may be accompanied by fever, nasal congestion, and a general illness.
Treatment for sinus eye pain usually involves antibiotics to treat the infection, decongestants to clear the nasal passages, and pain relief medications. Surgery may also be necessary in some cases.
Several things can cause sinus eye pain, including:
-A bacterial or viral infection of the sinuses
-Allergies or asthma
-Structural problems with the nose or sinuses
-Polyps (small benign growths) in the sinuses
-A fractured skull or facial bone
-Tumors of the sinuses.
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the tissue lining the sinuses due to a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection. Allergies can cause temporary swelling that leads to sinus pain. The symptoms may include headache, pressure around the eyes and nose, fatigue, fever with chills, nasal congestion, cough with thick yellow mucus (sometimes bloody), loss of smell and taste.
Sinusitis occurs when too much fluid builds up inside your sinuses or if your cilia (tiny hair-like substances in the lining of your nose) are damaged. When this happens, bacteria, viruses, or fungi can grow and cause an infection.
There are several ways to prevent sinus eye pain, including:
-Washing your hands frequently to avoid spreading germs that may cause an infection
-Avoiding exposure to allergens that trigger your allergies
-Using a humidifier to keep the air moist and help clear your nasal passages
-Staying well hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids
-Quitting smoking, which can worsen sinus problems
sinus infection and sun exposure:
Sinus infections can be made worse by sun exposure. The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause the sinuses to swell and increase the pain. If you have a sinus infection, it is essential to avoid prolonged sun exposure. Wear a hat with a broad brim to help protect your face and eyes from the sun’s rays when outdoors. Apply sunscreen to any exposed skin, and drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
There are several ways to treat sinus eye pain, including:
-Antibiotics to treat a bacterial or viral infection
-Decongestants to clear the nasal passages
-Pain relief medications
-Surgery may also be necessary in some cases
When should I call my healthcare provider?
If you have had a severe injury, such as a car accident or fall, and have sinus eye pain along with severe headache and nausea. This may be a sign of bleeding inside the skull. If this occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
-You have severe sinus pain that does not improve with treatment
-Your fever goes away, but your nasal congestion gets worse
-Your headache is accompanied by confusion, fainting spells, neck stiffness, seizures, vision changes, slurred speech, or other signs of increased pressure inside the skull
Symptoms of sinusitis include:
-Sinus pain or pressure that gets worse when you bend down do hard work or change positions
-A stuffy nose and postnasal drip toward the back of your throat. It may feel like something is blocking your ears
-Cough, especially at night
-Fever with chills
-Fatigue or lack of energy to do daily activities. A fever can cause this. Sinus infections are more common in the winter months because the air tends to be drier indoors than out. During this time, many people spend more time indoors where it’s warm among other people who may carry viruses that cause colds and flu. When you have a sinus infection, the virus can spread to your eyes and cause pain.
There are many things you can do to help relieve sinus eye pain, including:
-Resting in a comfortable position
-Putting cold compresses on your eyes for relief
-Gently blow your nose to clear nasal passages
-Drinking plenty of fluids
-Using a saline nasal spray or rinse to help keep the nasal passages moist
-Taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)

-Quitting smoking, which can worsen sinus problems
In the winter, many people have sinusitis because of dry air indoors. You can help prevent this by using a humidifier to add moisture to the atmosphere. If you have a cold or allergies, it also helps keep windows closed and use a fan or an air purifier to circulate indoor air.

How to relieve sinus pressure behind the eyes:
Sinus pressure behind the eyes is caused by swollen sinuses that are blocked, usually due to a viral or bacterial infection. When these sinuses become blocked, mucous production increases and excess mucus gathers behind the eye, causing swelling and pain.
This common condition occurs in people with allergies or colds. It can also be caused by asthma or dry air indoors when windows are kept closed during the winter months.
