My head hurts... Is there something wrong?

For the past week I've had a headache. My sinuses hurt. And I've been sleeping a lot like14 hours a day. I've been taking medicine to help with the pain hut nothing seems to help. Is there something wrong with me? Should I go see my doctor about this?

    Always seek medical attention especially with a possible sinus infection. This causes pressure in your head that triggers a headache. There are so many viruses out there and sometimes antibiotics will help. From what you stated, I am assuming that you have a sinus infection brewing so now you have a sinus headache. If anything lasts more than a few days, you should always seek medical attention. The headache, you noticed first which would indicate that something is going on that should not be. Keep a journal of when you get headaches and what are possible triggers. This should help you decipher which are normal from lack of sleep , dehydrated, weather pressure or something more. Good Luck!

    You've got a sinus infection. Make a dr appointment drink loads of hot tea and use saline spray plus decongestant pills for your nose. Once your sinuses drain your headache will go away. You more than likely need steroid nose spray and a zpack antibiotics from doctor.

    Could be lack of sleep, too much caffeine, migrane, tension or stress headache or a number of other things. When I get a bad one like that I heat up a "body buddy" and put it on my neck and lay down. Keep the room dim and try Excedrin it works well.

    Could be allergies and drink more water, that always helps when there is a headache involved.
