Brief Answer: Need more information Detailed Answer: Hi There XXXXXXX XXXXXXX This is Dr Mittal A regular headache could have many causes. I will need to know more details. Can you describe the pain, its locations, its duration, and other associated complaints? And what exactly do you mean by normal medicines? Of course it can be sinusitis too. But till I have a more complete grasp of all the features etc, it is not going to be possible to say for sure. Suggest "X ray PNS waters view' to look for sinusitis Please do respond with further details so I can help you further Dr Mittal

Brief Answer: couple of possibilities Detailed Answer: Hi again There are 2 possible things I can think of with that 1, cervical spondylosis the neck muscles and bones are strained and need exercise suggest an x ray cervical spine to make sure 2. tension headaches anxiety about something can cause similar features I would suggest ruling out the investigative part before diagnosing this sinusitis is always a possibility however neck pain is not so common suggest x ray pns waters view do let me know the reports so I can help u further Dr Mittal
