Dull headache - sinus related?
The other day whilst flying I suffered a "dull" headache during and after the flight - nothing painful but rather distracting. It was based above and around my eyes/eyebrows.
Is this sinus related and if so what can I do about it? I have heard all sorts of alarming stories about bursting eardums and things, surely all it is, is air trapped in the sinuses exerting pressure at altitude. Therefore a nasal spray must exist that will dicongest them, without call for surgery or anything horrying like I have read in this forum.
Having read a past post I am lost as to what is and isn't permitted as far as medication/sinus related problems in the cockpit.
Can anyone shed any light?
