Shooting pains in the head when sniffing hard?!
Question: Shooting pains in the head when sniffing hard.?
Probably sounds weird but I am actually a bit worried. I've had a pretty bad cold and this morning I was sniffing a lot trying to clear my nose and all of a sudden I got this really sharp pain that I felt go up my nose to around near my eye and then up into my head. It stayed there for about 20 seconds really smarting until it eased off. I then got this again about 10 mins later. This was a few hours ago and it hasn't come back since. I've been careful not to sniff very hard. What is this likely to have been.? Should I be worried.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Don't be worried.
It happened to me, it's just from sniffing too much, your body (nose/pasages etc) took some strain.
You'll see, the cold will go away, and it probably won't happen again for years.Health Question & Answer

OK WELL SNIFFING a little is ok but why are you sniffing hard.?!..we have a nose for many different reasons but if we have a cold it isn't normal to sniff that gross stuff back up!! BLOW YOUR NOSE!!....you could have a sinus infection now....try Sudafed for a couple of days to see ifyou can dry up but if the pain comes back then you'll most likely need antibiotics..Health Question & Answer
I've had that--it just sounds like clogged sinus problems, but ask your doctor to be sure.Health Question & Answer
