Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Your brain is completely normal as per MRI scan.
There is some mild thickening of the air cavities beside the nose (sinuses) and this is mainly due to an allergy or upper airway infection. This may cause headaches and nasal congestion. Sinus problems are mostly treated with medicines. Avoid dust allergy and protect yourself from extreme weather conditions.
