Symptoms and Causes of Sinus Headaches

Cold Weather

When the winter comes, low temperatures and cold weather can make many people have sinus headaches. This can be caused by changes in the brain’s blood vessels and nasal passage. Cold air basically contains more oxygen particles than warm air. When your brain notices these changes, blood vessels will contract and expand to balance the oxygen intake. As a result, you might feel an increased pressure in the nasal passage. To prevent this, you should take some measures, such as trying to stay indoors, as well as putting on warm clothing and shoes when going out. [6]
