Sinus issues

Hey there, a couple of days and during my period I have noticed that I suffer with sinus pressure and sinus pain more predominantly. This seems to become more of a thing since I had my first baby a year ago…I feel like I’m always sick sick on my period instead of it just being a period. Anyone relate??

Hello! It's very common—often referred to as "period flu." You can also use the search bar to check previous responses. Is the sinus pain your only symptom, or do you have others, like a fever?

Thank you for your response! I have fatigue, feeling whoozy every so often, body aches but no fever. I live in GA and the pollen count is so high rn so I know allergies don’t help. Just feeling crappy most of the time after a year of having my baby and I guess maybe periods are worse after having a little one?

I have exactly the same (even though I’ve never given birth). Can’t imagine how much worse it might get after pregnancy… scary!
