Did you find out what I was please?
I too, have been having severe sinus problems, that eventually even causes burn in chest. Feel so dumb now; if I don't change my furnace filter every month--this is what happens. Another site full of people who believe it to be GERD, but I have gone that route---it is sinus irritation. 1/2 hour after changing filter and running fan (on), not auto and my burning has let up. Hope helps someone
absolute worst advice EVER !!! If this worked, no one would be on this forum in pain.
I urge you to go to Kevin Smith MD. He is a facial plastic surgeon and an ENT. He specializes in migraines and sinus pain and has an 88% cure rate. He also can look at your Sinus CT scans before you even visit his office to see if he can help.

bad that it is waking me up
several times during the night and i am even incorporating it into
my dreams.
Wow! Thanks everyone for posting your issues. I have had the same problem for the past year. At first I thought I had a severe sinus infection. After several treatments of antibiotics with no relief I had CT of the brain and sinus. A 9 mm bone spur was found in my left upper sinus. Hurrah, I thought we had found the problem. Had sinus surgery and while they were up there they fixed my deviated septum. After a week the ice pick/burning head aches were back. Just on the left side. Not always the same. They were ice pick just above my left eye, burning towards my left temple and a throbbing one behind my left eye. My ENT was dumbfounded so I am now seeing a Neurologist and am being treated for Migraine headaches. The medication that they have me on is not really doing anything. Over the counter decongestants are the only thing that seem to take the edge off. I have been tested for allergies and have none. One thing that does seem to help some times is holding my nose with my fingers and pushing air into my sinuses. It seems weird but by wife had blocked Eustachian tubes and she had to do that to clear the out. Thanks again good luck everyone.
