What Causes Pain In Sinus To The Head Above The Eye?

I am not sure what an MRA is, I recently had an MRI of which was abnormal.There were many white floaters . was followed by an Echo-cardiogram that was normal. Approximately 2 weeks ago, I had a courted artery test of which is normal.....My complaint to my Dr. is my headaches that is generated by any kind of a strain ( cough, bending over and or at a laugh could bring this on) The ache may begin at my sinus area on the right side of my face to the right side of my head above my eye. What does an MRA generally produce ? To Pay & get an answer, what do you charge?

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I would explain that MRA, differently from simple MRI helps examine better the blood flow in your intracranial arteries.

This is the only difference.

Doppler ultrasound of the cervical vessels can help examine only the extracranial portion of carotid and vertebral arteries.

As, you symptoms are triggered by bending over or laughing, I would explain that your symptoms are just related to Ice Peak headache.

Chronic sinus infection has been excluded by the MRI.

So, relax! Your symptoms do not seem to be related to any serious medical condition.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Aida
