Groggy With Head Aches. Why Do I Feel Like A Hangover? Possible Sinus Infection?
For the last several days I have been waking up feeling extremely groggy with a headache . I feel the headache pain in my forehead and temples, and also behind my eyes and nose. For a couple of days now the pain is constant and lasts throughout the day. It feels like having a constant hangover. The only other symptom I have is some sneezing . Any ideas on what this can be? Possible sinus infection?

Hello,
Sneezing is suggestive of upper respiratory tract irritation, which could be either due to infection or allergies. Same can cause headache also. Your suspicion of sinus infection is valid. you can consult an ENT surgeon and get evalauted for the same. Nasal decogestants should be helpful in relieving both headache and sneezing.
Good luck.
