Too true.  What I do when I have a sinus headache is take  a wee bit more of whatever decongestant I have on hand, pop some Advil, and crawl under the covers to cry until the pain goes away.

The reason I think my headaches of the last 2 days are both sinus and tension is because I have the pain right behind and above my eyes and my sinuses hurt as well, but I also have pain at the back of my head right at the base, where a tension headache begins and lives.  My whole head just throbs today.

Yes, there is a difference
Sinus headaches start in the front - around the eyes, because the sinuses are directly above and below the eyes - and will often radiate to the top of the head. And the (censored) things hurt like crazy. Not even Tylenol 3 touched mine in 1996.
