Allergy and Migraine

Sinus Headache is rarely disabling and is rarely associated with nausea, light or sound sensitivity -- with the exceptions being sphenoid and chronic sinusitis. However, migraine is often misdiagnosed as sinus headache because they share some common symptoms and each may respond to Excedrin or Benadryl. This was demonstrated in a research study by Schreiber CP et al. (2004) that showed an overwhelming 80% of their patients with self-described or physician-diagnosed "sinus headache" experienced headaches with symptoms fulfilling IHS criteria for migraine. This result from a large, multicenter, clinic-based study suggests that migraine headaches can be commonly mistaken for sinus headaches.

In this Webinar, Wade Cooper, D.O., Program Director of the Headache and Neuropathic Pain Clinic in Ann Arbor, Michigan will be joining us to discuss Allergy and Migraine. Doctor Cooper was the 2013 recipient of the NHF Lectureship for his presentation on Allergy and Migraine: The Role of Mast Cells, and will be sharing his findings during this presentation

This video is life saving! I have suffered from painful bladder syndrome and severe migraines for the past 5 years. Just booked an appointment with an allergist. Thank you so

This is awesome! I’ve been taking allergy medicine prior to taking any migraine pain medication to see how much the pain goes down because I’ve been noticing for a while that there was a relation with the inflammation. This honestly makes a lot of sense. Especially with someone who also has anxiety, who’s central nervous system is completely fucked up. So interesting.

This has given me an epiphany. Thank you so much for posting this. I have to go process the brain explosion I just had (the good kind)

Is mast cell activation syndrome genetic? I just got my genome sequenced and I would like to know if there is a high risk gene I can look at.

I discovered the link with allergies myself, took a lot of bad medication to relief migraine while a simple anti histamine pill does the trick.
