Could Cyst On Sinus Cause Constant, Severe Headaches?

Hi - I have been getting severe headaches for over 6 weeks now and they generally occur daily. I get them constantly for 4-5 days in a row. After this I will start sweating heavily and then my nose will run for 1-2 days. During these 1-2 days I do not get headaches. Then the whole process starts over again. I have had an MRI and have a 15mm cyst on my sinus. I thought before the MRI this was sinus related but my GP keeps insisting it is not. Please help because I am physically exhausted by these constant headaches.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Having infected cyst or polyp in sinus can cause this problem.
Once infection subsides you can feel better but again when there is recurrence you get same problem again.
Consult ENT surgeon and get examined.
Meanwhile go for Vicks vapor inhalation regularly.
Ok and take care.
