Went to the doctor, I got lectured on where sinuses were because I said my migraines weren’t from a sinus infection (they aren’t), the doctor acted like I was stupid and was condescending (I work at a hospital)

I’m a nurse btw, and I’ve had a lot of sinus infections in my lifetime, I know what it feels like

It’s truly insane how many people suffer from migraines yet there is so much stigma around it. Sinus migraines and a regular migraine feel very different and anyone who has had both knows that!

Anytime I get I migraine I’m told it’s either stress (pmo) or sinuses. I have to then try to spend the whole time explaining to the doctor that I’ve NEVER had allergies. I’ve NEVER had a sinus infection. I only have sinus issues when I have a cold. That’s it. And they still say it’s sinuses

They told me my headache, nausea and vomiting was from a sinus infection. Which makes entirely no sense.

I mean I get nausea due to post nasal drip and headaches from the pressure of sinus infections so it’s not entirely illogical

I’ve had many in my lifetime and I’ve never gotten nauseous or threw up from one. I only puke when I’m really, really ill.
