Sinusitis, referred to as a Sinus Infection, is a direct cause of headaches, migraines, pressure in eyes and ears.
Sinuses are hollowed area's of the skull that allow the skull to be lighter, insulate the head, and allow for resonation of the voice. The sinus contain defenses to protect them from germs. When this bacteria penetrates the defenses, then sinus infections often occur. As mucus and pressure build in the sinuses, a perfect breading ground for bacterial growth is produced.
Allergies can contribute to sinus infections due to the pressure
building in the sinuses and permitting bacteria to grow.
