What Causes Gurgling Sound Coming From Sinuses?
Hello. I have a gurgling sound that seems to be coming from my sinuses. I feel pressure and get a headache when laying down in bed. When I turn from side to side, I hear "clicking" sounds too. I have high blood pressure and take medication for it, so is there something I can take for my sinuses?

Hi,
The gurgling sound coming from sinuses might be related to possible inflammation/infection of the sinuses.
I suggest to do
- an X-ray of sinuses
- culture of nasal swabbing
to diagnose infection/inflammation and get treated accordingly.
I also suggest to monitor your blood pressure and do regular cardiac check ups.
Do use another pillow when laying down to avoid problems with breathing.
Keep a good hygiene of your nostrils and throat.
Hope it was of help!
